Указания
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 March 27th.
Good luck!

Условие
A group of 12 resistors is arranged along the edges of a cube as shown in the diagram below. The vertices of the cube are labeled -.

a. The resistance between each pair of vertices is as follows:
What is the equivalent resistance between points and ? [13 т.]
b. The three resistors are replaced by identical capacitors. . A battery is attached across points and and the circuit is allowed to operate for a long period of time. What is the charge (, , ) on each capacitor after this long period of time? [12 т.]
Отговори
a. ≈ Ω
Official solution: 44/15 Ω.
b. 120 μC
The same charge on each of the three capacitors.
Решение
a. There is a high degree of symmetry present. Points , , and are at the same potential; similarly, points , , and are at the same potential. The circuit then reduces to a series connection of three parallel resistor clusters.
The three parallel clusters have effective resistances of , , and . The effective resistance of the circuit is then .
b. After a long time no current will flow through the branches of the circuits containing capacitors. The circuit then reduces to a parallel connection of three series resistor clusters.
The effective resistance of the circuit is , the current through the circuit is then
The three branches are identical; each then carries .
The potential drop across each capacitor is the same as the potential drop across the resistors, so
Finally, the charge on each capacitor is
