My thoughts on problem set # 5

 

1: 27-9, Practice with parallel and series resistances … also make you aware of how a light bulb works, low to low moderate difficulty

2: 27-12, same as above but more interesting, moderate difficulty

3: 27-17, standard two loop Kirchoff's rules problem, not tricky but a pain and you need to pay attention to details, moderate difficulty

4: 27-19, Same as 3

5: 27-35, Practice with RC circuits, plug and chug, meant to give you a feel for the time development of the charge flowing in the circuit

6: 27-36, More work with RC circuits, a tad more involved than 5, moderate difficulty

7: 27-37, same as 6

8: 27-53, Kirchoff's law … 3-loop, parts of it may be difficult

9: 27-55, same as 8, but maybe a little harder because you have capacitors to think about.

10: Straightforward problem from last year's final exam.
