Close
Step 1
The circuit has two switches, S1 and S2, and several resistors with their resistances given in ohms (Ω). Switch S1 is closed, and switch S2 is open. We need to find the current flowing from point a to point c. Show more…

Consider the circuit shown in Figure 1. Suppose that E = 11 V. Part A: What is the current through the battery when the switch is open? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Part B: What is the current through the battery when the switch is closed? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Problem 30.36 The switch in the figure has been open for a long time. It is closed at t = 0s. (Figure 1) Part A What is the current through the battery immediately after the switch is closed? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Part B What is the current through the battery after the switch has been closed a long time? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

The resistances in Figs. $27-45 a$ and $b$ are all $6.0 \Omega,$ and the batteries are ideal 12 $\mathrm{V}$ batteries. (a) When switch $\mathrm{S}$ in Fig. $27-45 a$ is closed, what is the change in the electric potential $V_{1}$ across resistor $1,$ or does $V_{1}$ remain the same? (b) When switch $\sin \mathrm{Fig.} 27-45 b$ is closed, what is the change in $V_{1}$ across resistor $1,$ or does $V_{1}$ remain the same?
