An RC circuit includes a basic switch. In position "a", the battery, resistor and capacitor are connected in series, and the capacitor charges. In position "b", the battery is replaced with a short, and the capacitor will discharge. Two voltmeters and an ammeter have been added to the circuit. Vo a A Vc 11% Part (a) With the capacitor initially uncharged, the switch is closed to position "a" allowing current to flow and allowing the capacitor to charge. Data collection begins at the instant the switch is closed. Enter an expression for the charge on the capacitor as a function of time. q(t) = A 11% Part (b) Enter an expression for the maximum value of the current passing through the ammeter while the capacitor is charging. 11% Part (c) Enter an expression for the current passing through the ammeter while the capacitor is charging. You answer must be expressed in terms of the maximum current, Imax, obtained in the previous step. A 11% Part (d) Enter an expression for the power consumption in the resistor as a function of time while the capacitor is charging. Your answer must incorporate Imax- 11% Part (e) Which of the following is a correct integral expression for the total energy consumed by the resistor during the period when the capacitor is charged? = 11% Part (f) Enter an expression for the energy consumed by the resistor from the time that the switch was placed in position "a" until the capacitor is fully charged. A 11% Part (g) Enter an expression for the energy stored by the capacitor when it is fully charged. A 11% Part (h) Enter an expression for the energy provided by the battery from the time that the switch was placed in position "a" until the capacitor is fully charged. A 11% Part (i) Which statement best describes the flow of energy in the circuit from the time the switch is moved to position "a" until the capacitor is fully charged?
