Circuits
- Series combination of resistors: The equivalent resistance is R = R1 + R2 +
- Parallel combination of resistors: If R1, R2, are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance R is such that 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 +
- RC circuit: Connect a battery with emf E, a resistor with resistance R, and a capacitor with capacitance C, and a switch. When the switch is open, no charge flows and the capacitor remains uncharged. If the switch is closed at time t = 0, the capacitor begins charging. The charge on the capacitor, as a function of time t, is given by Q = CE [1 exp(-t / RC)]. The product RC has the units of time and is called the time constant of the RC circuit.
