For each circuit shown in Fig. 28-3, determine the current I through the battery.
Consider a circuit with three resistors, R1 = 225 Ω, R2 = 155 Ω, and R3 = 135 Ω, connected in parallel with a 24.0-Vbattery. (These are the same resistances and battery as in the series circuit in Example 21-10.) Find (a) the total currentsupplied by the battery and (b) the current through each resistor.
The capacitance in the curcuit is C = 0.3μF, the total resistance is R=20kQ and the battery emf is 12 V. Determine the time is takes for the charge the capacitor could acquire, to reach 99% of max value.
