A 24.0 V battery is connected via switch S to a resistor R = 180 mΩ and two initially uncharged capacitors, C1 = 0.480 μF and C2 = 0.240 μF, as shown in the accompanying circuit diagram. A straight 6.00 m length of nichrome wire with diameter d = 2.50 mm and resistivity 1.1e-6 Ωm is connected in parallel with the resistor and the capacitors. A voltmeter is connected between point X (1.00 m away from one end of the nichrome wire) and point Y, midway between the two capacitors. a)Find the current strength in the nichrome and the resistor after the switch is closed. b)Calculate the charge on each of the fully charged capacitors. c)Determine the steady state reading on the voltmeter.
