The capacitor below is initially uncharged. The switch is first thrown to position a. What is the current through the resistor as a function of time while the capacitor is charging? Be sure to show the direction. What’s the power delivered to the resistor as a function of time while the capacitor is charging? When the capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 13 V, the switch is thrown to position b. What’s the current through the resistor as a function of time while the capacitor is discharging? Be sure to show the direction. What’s the power delivered to the resistor while the capacitor is discharging?

Consider the Voltaic Cell shown below:  The battery consists of a Silver and Nickel electrode connected externally by a wire.  The red arrow shows the direction that electrons will flow when the electrodes are connected.  Answer the following questions… Is the Silver electrode the anode or the cathode? Which electrode will gain mass as the battery operates? What will happen to the as the battery operates? Which electrode would be marked with a (+) symbol?
