12. Consider the circuit shown below.
RA.
+
RB
C
The two resistors shown above are identical and the capacitor is
uncharged when the switch is initially open.
a) The switch is closed. Which of the following is true about cur-
rent flowing through the resistors immediately after the switch is
closed?
• A. The current through RA is less than the current through
RB.
• B. The current through RA is greater than the current
through RB.
• C. The current through RA is equal to the current through
RB.
b) The switch stays closed for a long time. Which of the following
is true about current flowing through the resistors after a very long
time with the switch being closed?
• A. The current through RA is less than the current through
RB.
• B. The current through RA is greater than the current
through RB.
• C. The current through RA is equal to the current through
Rg.
c) The switch is then opened. Which of the following is true about
current flowing through the resistors immediately after the switch
is reopened?
• A. The current through RA is less than the current through
RB.
• B. The current through RA is greater than the current
through Rp.
• C. The current through RA is equal to the current through
RB.
