Last time--Behavior of Capacitors(from Lect. 10) • Charging • Initially, the capacitor behaves like a wire. • After a long time, the capacitor behaves like an open switch. • Discharging • Initially, the capacitor behaves like a battery. • After a long time, the capacitor behaves like a wire.
Preflight 11: E The capacitor is initially uncharged, and the two switches are open. 3) What is the voltage across the capacitor immediately after switch S1 is closed? a) Vc = 0 b) Vc = E c) Vc = 1/2 E 4) Find the voltage across the capacitor after the switch has been closed for a very long time. a) Vc = 0 b) Vc = E c) Vc = 1/2 E
Initially:Q = 0 VC = 0 I = E/(2R) After a long time: VC = EQ = E C I = 0
Preflight 11: E 6) After being closed a long time, switch 1 is opened and switch 2 is closed. What is the current through the right resistor immediately after the switch 2 is closed? a) IR= 0 b) IR=E/(3R) c) IR=E/(2R) d) IR=E/R
After C is fully charged, S1 is opened and S2 is closed. Now, the battery and the resistor 2R are disconnected from the circuit. So we now have a different circuit. Since C is fully charged, VC = E. Initially, C acts like a battery, and I = VC/R.

Preflight 11: The two circuits shown below contain identical fully charged capacitors att=0. Circuit 2 has twice as much resistance as circuit 1. 8) Compare the charge on the two capacitors a short time after t = 0 a) Q1 > Q2 b) Q1 = Q2 c) Q1 < Q2
Initially, the charges on the two capacitors are the same. But the two circuits have different time constants: t1 = RC and t2 = 2RC.Since t2 > t1it takes circuit 2 longer to discharge its capacitor. Therefore, at any given time, the charge on capacitor is bigger than that on capacitor 1.

Preflight 11: The circuit below contains a battery, a switch, a capacitor and two resistors 10) Find the current through R1 after the switch has been closed for a long time. a) I1 = 0 b) I1 = E/R1 c) I1 = E/(R1+ R2)
After the switch is closed for a long time ….. The capacitor will be fully charged, and I3 = 0. (The capacitor acts like an open switch). So, I1 = I2, and we have a one-loop circuit with two resistors in series, hence I1 = E/(R1+R2) What is voltage across C after a long time? Cis in parallel withR2 !! VC = I1R2 = E R2/(R1+R2) < E
