Question

When resistors are connected is series we know that _________________

the current flowing through each resistor is the same

the equivalent resistance is less than that of any single resistor in the circuit

the power dissipated in each one is the same

the electric potential difference across each resistor is the same

MASTER IT HINTS: GETTING STARTED I M STUCK Now, a second resistor R2 of 3.1 × 105 is connected in parallel to the existing resistor in the circuit, and a second capacitor C2 = 4.60 is connected to the existing capacitor in parallel. (a) What will be the new time constant? Treat the system as a simple RC circuit with an equivalent capacitance for C and an equivalent resistance for R to calculate the time constant for each. Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations (b) What will be the maximum current in the circuit (leaving the battery terminal)? Imax = Use the expression for the current as a function of time, or else Ohm's law when there is no voltage across the capacitor, to find the maximum current. Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. Now, we connect the second resistor R2 of 3.1 x 10 series to the other elements of the circuit. and the second capacitor C2 4.60 F both in (c) What will be the new time constant? Treat the system as a simple RC circuit with an equivalent capacitance for C and an equivalent resistance for R to calculate the time constant for each. answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations (d) What will be the maximum current in the circuit (leaving the battery terminal)? Your response differs from the correct for the current as a function of time, or else Ohm's law when there is no Use the voltage across the capacitor, to find the maximum current. Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff erron

Explanation / Answer

When resistors are connected in series, the current through each resistor is the same.
