DO NOT OPEN THIS TEST UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO BEGIN
- Work Part A first. You have 90 minutes to complete all four problems.
- After you have completed Part A, you may take a break.
- Then work Part B. You have 90 minutes to complete both problems.
- Show all your work. Partial credit will be given.
- Start each question on a new sheet of paper. Be sure to put your name in the upper right-hand corner of each page, along with the question number and the page number/total pages for this problem. For example,

- A hand-held calculator may be used. Its memory must be cleared of data and programs. It may not be used in graphing mode. Calculators may not be shared. You may not use any tables, books, or collections of formulas. You may use a ruler or straight edge.
- Questions with the same point value are not necessarily of the same difficulty.
- Good luck!

Условие
The circuit diagrammed at the right consists of a 6.0-V power supply and eight 12.0- resistors, labeled 1–8.

a. What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit? [5 т.]
b. What is the current in each resistor? Please use to denote the current in resistor . [5 т.]
c. Resistors 1, 5, and 7 are replaced with 4.0-F capacitors. What is the charge on each capacitor after the circuit has been connected for a very long time? Please use to denote the charge on the capacitor in location . [5 т.]
d. The capacitor in location 5 is replaced with a second 6.0-V power supply (positive end closest to resistor 3 and negative end closest to resistor 6). What is the current through each resistor after the circuit has been connected for a very long time? Please use to denote the current in resistor . In this part 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 denote 12.0- resistors, 1 and 7 denote 4.0-F capacitors, and 5 denotes a 6.0-V power supply. [5 т.]
Решение
a. (5 т.)
Because of symmetry, and and .
No current flows through 3 or 6. and .
1, 4, and 7 are effectively in series with an equivalent resistance of .
Similarly for the right branch containing 2, 5, and 8.
The left and right branches are in parallel so, the equivalent resistance is given by
or
b. (5 т.)
As stated in the argument in Part a. and . All the other currents are equal .
Applying Kirchhoff’s loop rule to the left loop
c. (5 т.)
When the circuit has been connected for a very long time, the capacitors are fully charged. No current flows through 1, 5, and 7. There is only one path for the current, through 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8. These five resistors are effectively in series with
across each. Applying Kirchoff’s loop rule to the upper loop
Similarly for .
For the middle loop we have
Which yields
d. (5 т.)
When the circuit has been connected for a very long time, no current flows through 1 or 7. The same current flows through 3, 4 and 6.
There is 2.0 V across each of the resistors 3, 4, and 6 and capacitors 1 and 7. Hence the voltage across 2 and 8 is zero and .
