RC circuits: For the circuit shown in the figure, the switch S is initially open and the capacitor voltage is 80 V. The switch is then closed at time t = 0. How long after closing the switch will the current in the resistor be 7.0 µA?

The electric field strength is 5.00×104  N/C inside a parallel-plate capacitor with a 1.60 mm  spacing. A proton is released from rest at the positive plate. What is the proton’s speed when it reaches the negative plate? (mass of proton = 1.67 x 10-27 kg, charge of an proton = 1.60 x 10-19 C)

Resistivity: A wire of resistivity ρ must be replaced in a circuit by a wire of the same material but 4 times as long. If, however, the resistance of the new wire is to be the same as the resistance of the original wire, the diameter of the new wire must be

Radiation pressure: A radiometer has two square vanes (1.0 cm by 1.0 cm), attached to a light horizontal cross arm, and pivoted about a vertical axis through the center, as shown in the figure. The center of each vane is 6.0 cm from the axis. One vane is silvered and it reflects all radiant energy incident upon it. The other vane is blackened and it absorbs all incident radiant energy. An electromagnetic wave with an intensity of 0.30 kW/m2 is incident normally upon the vanes. What is the radiation pressure on the blackened vane? (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s, μ0 = 4π × 10-7 T ∙ m/A, ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N ∙ m2)

Ohm’s law: How much current will be flowing through a 40.0 m length of cylindrical metal wire with radius 0.0 mm if it is connected to a source supplying 16.0 V? The resistivity of this metal is 1.68 × 10-8 Ω ∙ m.

Field intensity: A laser with a power of 1.0 mW has a beam radius of 1.0 mm. What is the peak value of the electric field in that beam? (c = 3.0 × 108 m/s, μ0 = 4π × 10-7 T ∙ m/A, ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N ∙ m2)

Power: A 400-W computer (including the monitor) is turned on for 8.0 hours per day. If electricity costs 10¢ per kWh, how much does it cost to run the computer annually for a typical 365-day year?

The voltage across the terminals of a 9.0 V battery is 8.1 V when the battery is connected to a 20
