The capacitor in the figure (figure 1) is initially uncharged. the switch is closed at t=0.

immediately after the switch is closed, what is the current through the resistor r1?

immediately after the switch is closed, what is the current through the resistor r2?

immediately after the switch is closed, what is the current through each resistor r3?

what is the final charge on the capacitor?

Immediately after the switch is closed, the capacitor acts like a short circuit for a very small time. We can calculate the currents through each resistor by first calculating the total resistance:

Req = 1/(1/3+1/6) + 8 = 1/(3/6) + 8 = 2 + 8 = 10 ohms.
IR1 = E / Req = 42 / 10 = 4.2 A.
VR2 = VR3 = E * R23 / Req = 42 * 2 / 10 = 8.4 V
IR2 = VR2 / R2 = 8.4 / 6 = 1.4 A.
IR3 = VR3 / R3 = 8.4 / 3 = 2.8 A.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in . We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

Julia would be observing a. static electricity was caused by her sweater rubbing against her shirt and transferring electrons. she didn't touch anything metal, so that would cancel out b.she most likely didn't rub her sweater against her hair either, so that cancels out c.she also didn't scoot across the carpet while trying to take her sweater off, that cancels out d.so that leaves a.a. is correct.
