branch 3. Assign circulation direction for each loop. 4. Circulation direction across each element
defines “before” and “after” side of element. 5. Define electric potential difference across a
circuit element by
ΔV ≡V (after)−V (before) ≡V (a)−V (b)

Concept Question: Current in RC Circuit
23
Concept Question: RC Circuit An uncharged capacitor is connected to a battery, resistor and switch. The switch is initially open but at t = 0 it is closed. A very long time after the switch is closed, the current in the circuit is 1. Nearly zero 2. At a maximum and
decreasing 3. Nearly constant but non-zero
24
Concept Q. Answer: RC Circuit
Eventually the capacitor gets “completely charged” – the voltage increase provided by the battery is equal to the voltage drop across the capacitor. The voltage drop across the resistor at this point is 0 – no current is flowing.
Answer: 1. After a long time the current is 0
25
Power - Capacitor Circulating across a capacitor from the positive to negative plate decreases your potential. If current flows in that direction the capacitor absorbs power (stores charge)

Concept Question: RC Circuit
Consider the circuit at right, with an initially uncharged capacitor and two identical resistors. At the instant the switch is closed:
1. IR = IC = 02. IR = ε / 2R , IC = 03. IR = 0 , IC = ε / R4. IR = ε / 2R , IC = ε / R
28
Concept Question Answer: RC Circuit
Initially there is no charge on the capacitor and hence no voltage drop across it – it looks like a short. Thus all current will flow through it rather than through the bottom resistor. So the circuit looks like:
Answer: 3. IC = ε R IR = 0

Concept Q.: Current Thru Capacitor In the circuit at right the switch is closed at t = 0. At t = ∞ (long after) the current through the capacitor will be:
IC = 0
IC = ε R
IC = ε 2R

Con. Q. Ans.: Current Thru Capacitor
After a long time the capacitor becomes “fully charged.” No more current flows into it.

Concept Q.: Current Thru Resistor
In the circuit at right the switch is closed at t = 0. At t = ∞ (long after) the current through the lower resistor will be:
IR = 0
IR = ε R
IR = ε 2R
32
Concept Q. Ans.: Current Thru Resistor
Since the capacitor is “fullly charged” we can remove it from the circuit, and all that is left is the battery and two resistors. So the current is . IR = ε 2R
