RC Circuits
•  RC circuits are circuits containing resistors and
capacitors.
•  In RC circuits, the current varies with time.
•  The values of the resistance and the capacitance in
an RC circuit determine the time it takes the
capacitor to charge or discharge. Copyright © 2007, Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley.
RC Circuits
The current and the
capacitor voltage decay to
zero after the switch closes,
but not linearly. Copyright © 2007, Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley.
RC Circuits
The decays of the voltage and the current are
exponential decays:

A.  Capacitor A
B.  Capacitor B
C.  They discharge at the same rate.
D.  We can’t say without knowing the initial amount of charge.

Charging a Capacitor
•  In a circuit that charges a capacitor, once the switch is closed, the potential difference of the battery causes a current in the circuit, and the capacitor begins to charge.
•  As the capacitor charges, it develops a potential
difference that opposes the current, so the current
decreases, and so does the rate of charging.
•  The capacitor charges until ΔV

Nuclear Decay and Half-Lives
•  If you start with N
unstable nuclei, after an interval of time called the
half-life, you’ll have ½ N0 nuclei remaining.

•  No matter how many nuclei there are at any point in time,
the number decays by half during the next half-life.

exponential decay. • The equation for the number of atoms after
a half-life can be written in terms of a time
constant τ that is related to the half-life:

Magnetic Fields Around Us

Slide 24-14
Key Points
•  Three types of magnetic interactions
1.  no interaction with either pole of a magnet => object is non-magnetic
2.  attracted to both poles of a magnet => object is magnetic
3.  Attracted to one pole and repelled by the other pole
=> object is a magnet
•  Magnetic field vector from a bar magnet is a super position of the
magnetic field vectors from the N and S poles:
• 
• 
Vector from N pole points away from N pole Vector from S pole points towards S pole
•  Field lines form complete loops inside and outside of magnet
• 
• 
• 
Field lines outside magnet go from N to S poles
Field lines inside magnet go from S to N poles
Magnetic Field vectors at a point are tangential to Magnetic Field Lines
