Answer to Question #309352 in Optics for Chemistry

Question

In an R-C circuit, a resistor, an uncharged capacitor, a dc battery, and an open switch are

in series. In an R-L circuit, a resistor, an inductor, a dc battery, and an open switch are in series. Compare the behavior of the current in these circuits (a) just after the switch is closed and (b) long after the switch has been closed. In other words, compare the way in which a capacitor and an inductor affect a circuit.

Answer 1

Answer

Just after the switch is closed in the RC circuit, the current flow through the resistor R and the initial current is

$I =\frac{emf}{R}$

While just after the switch is closed in the R-L circuit, the current wouldn't flow through the circuit and the initial current is zero.

i = 0

b) so we can say that at intermediate capacitor is in charging situation its not to complete charged
