RC circuits: For the circuit shown in the figure, the switch S is initially open and the capacitor is uncharged. The switch is then closed at time t = 0. How many seconds after closing the switch will the energy stored in the capacitor be equal to 50.2 mJ?

Snell’s law: In the figure, a laser positioned on a ship is used to communicate with a small two-man research submarine resting on the bottom of a lake. The laser is positioned 12 m above the surface of the water, and it strikes the water 20 m from the side of the ship. The water is 76 m deep and has an index of refraction of 1.33. How far horizontally is the submarine from the side of the ship?

Solenoids: A solenoid is wound with 970 turns on a form 4.0 cm in diameter and 50 cm long. The windings carry a current I in the sense that is shown in the figure. The current produces a magnetic field, of magnitude

Lenz’s law: In the figure, two solenoids are side by side. The switch S, initially open, is closed. The induced current through the resistor R is

Kirchhoff’s rules: For the circuit shown in the figure, all quantities are accurate to 2 significant figures. What is the value of the current I1?

Transformers: An ideal transformer consists of a 500-turn primary coil and a 2000-turn secondary coil. If the current in the secondary is 3.0 A, what is the current in the primary?

Thin lenses: An object is placed 100 cm in front of a diverging lens with a focal length of magnitude 25 cm. A converging lens having a focal length of magnitude 33.33 cm is placed 30 cm past the first lens. Where is the final image formed?

Lens-maker’s formula: A convex-concave thin lens is made with the radius of curvature of the convex surface being 25.0 cm and the concave surface 45.0 cm. If the glass used has index of refraction 1.500, what is the focal length of this lens?

Thin lenses: A 4.0-cm tall object is placed 60 cm away from a converging lens of focal length 30 cm. What are the nature and location of the image? The image is

Plane mirrors: How far are you from your image when you stand 0.750 m in front of a vertical plane mirror?
