Chapter 28, Problem 28.3QQ
With the switch in the circuit of Figure 27.6a open, there is no current in R2. There is current in R1, however, and it is measured with the ammeter at the right side of the circuit. If the switch is closed (Fig. 27.6b), there is current in R2. What happens to the reading on the ammeter when the switch is closed? (a) The reading increases. (b) The reading decreases. (c) The reading does not change.

In (Figure 1), the total resistance is 12.0 kΩ , and the battery's emf is 26.0 V . The time constant is measured to be 14.0 μs .
Calculate the total capacitance of the circuit.
Calculate the time it takes for the voltage across the capacitor to reach 15.0 VV after the switch is closed.
When switch S in (Figure 1) is open, the voltmeter V of the battery reads 3.13 V. When
the switch is closed, the voltmeter reading drops to 2.93 V, and the ammeter A reads
1.69 A. Assume that the two meters are ideal, so they don't affect the circuit.
