2005 Semi-Final Exam — Instructions
AAPT / AIP — United States Physics Team 2005.
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: Doe, Jamie; A1 – 1/3.
- A hand-held calculator may be used. Its memory must be cleared of data and programs. You may use only the basic functions found on a simple scientific calculator. Calculators may not be shared. Cell phones, PDA’s, or cameras may not be used during the exam or while the exam papers are present. You may not use any tables, books, or collections of formulas.
- Questions with the same point value are not necessarily of the same difficulty.
- Do not discuss the contents of this exam with anyone until after the submission deadline.
- Good luck!

Условие

Each of the seven resistors in the network above has the same resistance .
a. If an ideal battery of emf and no internal resistance is connected across the points labeled A and B, what is the current that flows in the resistor (for each of the seven resistors)? [10 т.]
b. What equivalent resistor could be used to replace the network so that the same current flowed from the battery? [5 т.]
c. If the resistor labeled was removed and replaced by a capacitor with capacitance , what would the charge be on the capacitor after the circuit had been connected to the battery for a very long time? [10 т.]
Решение
a. (10 т.)
Since and are in series, . Since and are in series, . By symmetry, the current through and must be the same as the current through and since the current through A = the current through B and this current splits into two branches — one with a resistance of and the other with a resistance of . Therefore,
and . (A1-2)
By the junction rule,
Applying the loop rule from A to B across the top of the circuit,
Applying the loop rule from A to B going through , , and yields
Substitute (A1-3) into (A1-4) and (A1-5).
and . (A1-7)
Subtract (A1-7) from (A1-6) to obtain
Substitute into (A1-6) or (A1-7) to find that
Then, from (A1-8) and (A1-1),
Using (A1-3) and (A1-2),
b. (5 т.)
and . (A1-13)
Therefore, by substituting (A1-10) and (A1-11) into (A1-12) and (A1-13),
Thus, . (A1-15)
c. (10 т.)
After a very long time, no current will flow through the branch of the circuit with the capacitor. Therefore, , , and are in series and , , and are in series. The current through the top branch and the current through the bottom branch will then be
The voltage drop across is and the voltage drop across and is . Thus, the voltage drop across the capacitor is .
Using (A1-16),
The charge on the capacitor is . (A1-18)
