What is the effect of increasing resistance in a circuit with constant voltage?
The current decreases (Ohm's Law).
What happens when a dielectric material is inserted into a capacitor?
The capacitance increases, allowing it to store more energy.
What are the steps to analyze a DC circuit?
1. Draw the circuit diagram. 2. Label the currents. 3. Apply Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL). 4. Apply Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL). 5. Use Ohm's Law (V = IR). 6. Solve the equations.
What are the steps to using Gauss's Law?
1. Choose a Gaussian surface. 2. Calculate the electric flux. 3. Calculate the enclosed charge. 4. Solve for the electric field.
What are the differences between Direct Current (DC) and Alternating Current (AC)?
DC: Current flows in one direction. AC: Current reverses direction periodically.
What are the differences between resistors in series and parallel?
Series: Same current, total resistance is the sum. Parallel: Same voltage, reciprocal of total resistance is the sum of reciprocals.
