With the switch in the circuit of Figure 27.4a closed, there is no current in R2 because the current has an alternate zero-resistance path through the switch. There is current in R1, and this current is measured with the ammeter (a device for measuring current) at the bottom of the circuit. If the switch is opened (Fig. 27.4b), there is current in R2. What happens to the reading on the ammeter when the switch is opened? (a) The reading goes up. (b) The reading goes down. (c) The reading does not change.

- Question 8. Please help with the question attached below.arrow_forwardAn uncharged capacitor and a resistor are connected in series to a battery as shown in Figure, where e= 12.0 V, C = 5.00 mF, and R = 8.00 × 105 W. The switch is thrown to position a. Find the time constant of the circuit, the maximum charge on the capacitor, the maximum current in the circuit, and the charge and current as functions of time.arrow_forwardIn the circuit diagram below, the switch S is closed for a long time (which means that the capacitor C is fully charged, and so there will be no current in the capacitor's branch of the circuit).
