Textbook Question

Chapter 21, Problem 88GP

CE The circuit shown in Figure 21-58 shows a resistor and two capacitors connected in series with a battery of voltage V. The circuit also has an ammeter and a switch. Initially, the switch is open and both capacitors are uncharged. The following questions refer to a time long after the switch is closed and current has ceased to flow. (a) In terms of V₁ what is the voltage across the capacitor C₁ ? (b) In terms of CV₁ what is the charge on the right plate of C₂? (c) What is the net charge that flowed through the ammeter during charging? Give your answer in terms of CV.

as a hiker in glacier national park, you need to keep the bears from getting at your food supply. You find a campground that is near an outcropping of ice. Part of the outcropping forms a feta=51.5* slopeup that leads to a verticle cliff. You decide that this is an idea place to hang your food supply out of bear reach. You put all of your food into a burlap sack, tie a rope to the sack, and then tie a bag full of rocks to the other end of the rope to act as an anchor. You currently have 18.5 kg of food left for the rest of your trip, so you put 18.5 kg of rocks in the anchor bag to balance it out. what happens when you lower the food bag over the edge and let go of the anchor bag? Determine the acceleration magnitude a of the two-bag system when you let go of the anchor bag?

2. A thin Nichrome wire is used in an experiment to test Ohm's law using a power supply ranging from 0 to 12 V in steps of 2 V. Why isn't the graph of I vs V linear? 1. Nichrome wire does obey Ohm's law. Explain how that can that be true given the results above
