Parallel circuit Definition and 109 Threads

If i have the R and C circuit in parallel, the battery voltage is completely applied to the capacitor of 10uF since it is in parallel, but as per the capacitor behavior it shall charge slowly. So which is correct? I mean is it wrong connection?

So my idea was to separate the capacitor into two individual ones, one of length ##l - a## filled with a vacuum and one of length ##a## filled with the glass tube. The capacitances then are $$ C_0 = \frac{2 \pi \varepsilon_0 (l-a)}{\displaystyle \ln\left( \frac{r_2}{r_1} \right)} $$ for the...

i have this question and i just want to make sure i am on the right track as i know there are quite a few steps to this to get to the final soultions i need to find Current at r1 voltage at r1 current at r2 voltage at r2 i have so far split this into 2 drawings so i am dealing with one power...

Potentials in points E, F, A, B are equal because there is no resistance. In my opinion, losses of potential energy in the resitors R1 and R2 are not equal (potential C ≠ potential G). Then why do we say that voltage in this circuit is the same?

Given the circuit above, I have to solve for the labelled currents, find V total and R total accordingly. 1A is flowing through the 5Ω resistor as shown. Assuming electron flow (negative terminal to positive) for circuit. The connector in the middle was somewhat confusing. Without it, this...

These are my attempts at doing this question, and I was wondering if I am correct so far. At t= 0-, i(L) will be 0A, since the capacitor acts as a open circuit. However, I'm not sure why V(c) at t=0- will be -20V as given by the answers. Won't it be 0V? Moving on, since current in inductor and...

I apologize using English fluently because I am not an Enlgish speaker. When I tried to solve this problem, I used current divider rule. So, $$i_o(t) = \frac{3}{3+5}*4e^{-2t} = 1.5*e^{-2t} A$$ However, This was wrong. The answer is $$ 1.5*e^{-2t} + 0.5 A$$ If I use $$V_O = L*\frac{di}{dt}$$...
