- Answer the following questions. 1. Why does the voltage across the resistor for charging and discharging processes change the sign from positive to negative? Hint: think about the direction of current. 2. Does the voltage V across the resistor for charging and discharging obey by the same equation: V = Vo eRC 3. What is the sum of the voltages across the capacitor Vc and across the resistor VR at any point in time during the charging and discharging processes? Use a snipping tool to copy and paste the waveform chart and graph for the charging and discharging curves into the lab report.arrow_forwardAnswers to the following question will be relevant for the in-labs. Please note your answers when going in for the main lab session. 3. Ohm's law can be sated as V = IR. a. Suppose in an experiment, data is collected of the variation of current with resistance R. Next a plot of R vs I'is made. How does one determine the value of V from that graph? (Explain your answer using an appropriate expression.) b. Instead of measuring resistance suppose that in (a) data of the variation of current with the length of wire is collected. Show how such data can be used to determine the resistivity of the wire.arrow_forwardDetermine the voltages and voltage changes indicated based on the circuit diagram below. Hint, first compute the total current by dividing the net voltage (you need to subtract because the power sources are in opposite directions) by the total resistance. Once you have the total current you can determine the change in voltage through the resistors. The notation goes...Vab=Va-Vb Va= Answer 1 V Vb= Answer 2 V Vc= Answer 3 V Vd= Answer 4 V Ve= Answer 5 V Vab= Answer 6 V Vdc= Answer 7 V Vcb= Answer 8 V Vac= Answer 9 V Vdb= Answer 10 Varrow_forward
