Pre-lab and Discussion Questions Pre-Lab Questions This part of the lab is to be completed prior to class. You MUST show it to your instructor upon arrival or else no credit will be given for this section. The following questions are related to the figure above. 1. If the battery's voltage is 9 V and the capacitance is 0.1 F, what is the maximum voltage difference the capacitor can achieve and the maximum charge it can store? [10 pts] Maximum voltage = voltage on the battery = qv Discussion Questions This part of the lab is to be completed with your group in class. (still referring to the previous figure) 2. What is the direction of the current immediately after the switch is closed? Why? [5 pts] 3. After the switch is closed, what happens to the current through the circuit as time goes on? Explain. [5 pts] 4. After the switch is closed, what happens to the amount of charge on the capacitor as time goes on? Explain. [5 pts] 44
