Problem 58
Q

Two resistors and two uncharged capacitors are arranged as shown in Fig. 19–72. Then a potential difference of 24 V is applied across the combination as shown.

  1. What is the potential at point a with switch S open? (Let V = 0 at the negative terminal of the source.)
  2. What is the potential at point b with the switch open?
  3. When the switch is closed, what is the final potential of point b?
  4. How much charge flows through the switch S after it is closed?
