April 1, 20179 yr On gangnam style problem (AKA ap style), on number 7, I think the answer is C=D>A=B>E could you check on that.
April 3, 20179 yr Checked: A) B=D, C, A, E; D, B=C, A=E There is a typo in an early edition of the book
April 3, 20179 yr Author On A) of #7 of circuits of ap style, could you explain why your answer is right? I thought C and D had the most current immediately after closing because c has 2v/r and D also had 2v/r.
April 4, 20179 yr When the switch is first closed, the capacitor acts like a wire. Both B and D will have no effective resistance because there is a short from one side of the battery to the other where the capacitor is. For a split second, they will have near zero resistance, and a very large spike in current.
