Chapter 27, Problem 26P
Figure 27-37 shows a battery connected across a uniform resistor R0. A sliding contact can move across the resistor from x = 0 at the left to x = 10 cm at the right. Moving the contact changes how much resistance is to the left of the contact and how much is to the right. Find the rate at which energy is dissipated in resistor R as a function of x. Plot the function for ℰ = 50 V, R = 2000 Ω, and R0= 100 Ω.

What is the time constant for the discharge of the capacitors in the circuit shown in the figure? if the 2.00 uf capacitor initially has a potential difference of 10v across its plates. how much charge remains after the switch has been closed for a time equal to half the time constant?
The figure displays two circuits with a charged capacitor that is to be discharged through a resistor when a switch is closed. In figure (a)
below, R₁ = 21.7 Q and C₁ = 5.08 µF. In figure (b) below, R₂ = 10.5 Q and C₂ = 8.00 μF. The ratio of the initial charges on the two
capacitors is 902/901 = 1.82. At time t = 0, both switches are closed. At what time t do the two capacitors have the same charge?

- The student engineer of a campus radio station wishes to verify the effectiveness of the lightning rod on the antenna mast (Fig. P21.71). The unknown resistance Rx is between points C and E. Point E is a true ground, but it is inaccessible for direct measurement because this stratum is several meters below the Earths surface.
