1. If you traverse a loop against the direction of current as it flows through a 10 V battery, what happens to the potential?
Nothing happens to the potential. | There is a voltage drop of +10 V | There is a voltage rise of -10 V | It is equal to -IR | |
2. If you traverse a loop with the direction of current as it flows through a resistor, what happens to the potential?
Nothing happens to the potential. | There is a voltage drop = -IR |
There is a voltage rise = +IR | It is equal to the emf of the battery. |
3. When there's a capacitor in a circuit, current flows at a constant rate.
4. The time constant for how charge (and current) change is given by the product of R and C (RC).
5. The way that the current in an RC circuit that is discharging is described by an exponential decay function.
6. RC circuits with a variable resistor are used in intermittent wiper circuits to allow for variation the delay between wipes.
