When an RC series circuit is connected to a dc source, what is the voltage on a capacitor after one time constant when (a) charging from voltage and (b) discharging from fully charged zero a condition?arrow_forward2. To explore resistors in series and parallel, we will use a virtual lab for DC circuits. Open your web browser and go to the following site: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/circuit-construction-kit-dc/latest/circuit-construction- kit-dc_en.html (a) Construct a circuit with resistors (or light bulbs) in series and record current and voltage. How does the current through the resistor (or the bulb) in a single-resistor circuit with the current through the same resistor when it is connected in compare series with a second resistor? (b) Now construct a circuit with resistors (or light bulbs) in parallel and record current and voltage. Compare the current through the battery in the series circuit with the current through the battery in the parallel circuit. Is it lower, the same, or higher?arrow_forward16.

A. 0A %3D B. 0.1A C. 0.6A D. 1A E. 6Aarrow_forwardWhen an electric circuit is turned on, it takes an unusually long amount of time for the current in the circuit to reach its maximum amount. This effect is most likely due to a. the self inductance of the wires and circuit elements b. the internal resistance of the power source c. the number of nodes or branches in the circuit d. the excess static charge that resides on the surfaces of the wires in the circuit e. the temperature dependence of the total resistance in the circuitarrow_forwardAC Circuits 8.
