1. **Problem Statement:**
Find the currents through the 30.0-Ω resistor, 20.0-Ω resistor, and the 10.0-V battery in the circuit with two batteries (10.0 V and 5.00 V) and resistors 30.0 Ω and 20.0 Ω.
2. **Relevant Formulas and Rules:**
- Use Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL): The sum of voltage drops around any closed loop equals zero.
- Ohm's Law: $V = IR$ where $V$ is voltage, $I$ current, and $R$ resistance.
- Assume currents $I_1$ through 30.0 Ω and $I_2$ through 20.0 Ω.
3. **Set up equations:**
Loop 1 (left loop with 10.0 V battery and 30.0 Ω resistor):
$$10.0 - 30.0 I_1 - V_{junction} = 0$$
Loop 2 (right loop with 5.00 V battery and 20.0 Ω resistor):
$$V_{junction} - 20.0 I_2 - 5.00 = 0$$
At junction, currents satisfy:
$$I_1 = I_2$$
4. **Solve for $V_{junction}$:**
From loop 1:
$$V_{junction} = 10.0 - 30.0 I_1$$
From loop 2:
$$V_{junction} = 20.0 I_2 + 5.00$$
Set equal:
$$10.0 - 30.0 I_1 = 20.0 I_2 + 5.00$$
Since $I_1 = I_2 = I$:
$$10.0 - 30.0 I = 20.0 I + 5.00$$
5. **Simplify and solve for $I$:**
$$10.0 - 5.00 = 20.0 I + 30.0 I$$
$$5.00 = 50.0 I$$
$$I = \frac{5.00}{50.0} = 0.10$$
6. **Answer for (a) and (b):**
- Current through 30.0-Ω resistor: $I_1 = 0.10$ A
- Current through 20.0-Ω resistor: $I_2 = 0.10$ A
7. **Current through 10.0-V battery (c):**
The current through the 10.0-V battery is the same as $I_1$, which is $0.10$ A.

1. **Problem Statement:**
Find the emfs $E_1$ and $E_2$ and the potential difference between points $b$ and $a$ in the circuit with given resistors and currents.
2. **Given:**
- Currents: 1.00 A and 2.00 A
- Resistors: 1.00 Ω, 4.00 Ω, 6.00 Ω, 1.00 Ω, 2.00 Ω
- Voltage source: 20.0 V
3. **Use Kirchhoff's Laws and Ohm's Law:**
- Calculate voltage drops using $V=IR$.
- Use given currents and resistances to find $E_1$ and $E_2$.
4. **Calculate $E_1$:**
Voltage drop across 4.00 Ω resistor with 1.00 A:
$$V = 4.00 \times 1.00 = 4.00\text{ V}$$
Voltage drop across 1.00 Ω resistor with 2.00 A:
$$V = 1.00 \times 2.00 = 2.00\text{ V}$$
Sum with 20.0 V source:
$$E_1 = 20.0 + 4.00 + 2.00 = 26.0\text{ V}$$
5. **Calculate $E_2$:**
Voltage drop across 6.00 Ω resistor with 2.00 A:
$$V = 6.00 \times 2.00 = 12.0\text{ V}$$
Voltage drop across 2.00 Ω resistor with 2.00 A:
$$V = 2.00 \times 2.00 = 4.00\text{ V}$$
Sum:
$$E_2 = 12.0 + 4.00 = 16.0\text{ V}$$
6. **Potential difference $V_b - V_a$:**
Sum voltage drops from $a$ to $b$:
$$V_b - V_a = E_1 - (1.00 \times 1.00) - (4.00 \times 1.00) = 26.0 - 1.00 - 4.00 = 21.0\text{ V}$$

1. **Problem Statement:**
For a circuit with a 12-V cell, 10-kΩ resistor, and 20-μF capacitor, find:
1. Time constant
2. Charge at $t=0$
3. Initial current
4. Capacitor charge at 0.08 min
5. Current at 0.08 min
2. **Formulas:**
- Time constant: $$\tau = RC$$
- Charge on capacitor: $$q(t) = C V (1 - e^{-t/\tau})$$
- Current: $$I(t) = \frac{V}{R} e^{-t/\tau}$$
3. **Calculate time constant:**
$$R = 10,000\ \Omega,\ C = 20 \times 10^{-6} F$$
$$\tau = 10,000 \times 20 \times 10^{-6} = 0.2\text{ s}$$
4. **Charge at $t=0$:**
$$q(0) = C V (1 - e^{0}) = 0$$
5. **Initial current:**
$$I(0) = \frac{12}{10,000} e^{0} = 0.0012\text{ A} = 1.2\text{ mA}$$
6. **Convert 0.08 min to seconds:**
$$0.08 \times 60 = 4.8\text{ s}$$
7. **Charge at $t=4.8$ s:**
$$q(4.8) = 20 \times 10^{-6} \times 12 \times (1 - e^{-4.8/0.2})$$
Since $e^{-24}$ is approximately 0,
$$q(4.8) \approx 20 \times 10^{-6} \times 12 = 2.4 \times 10^{-4} C$$
8. **Current at $t=4.8$ s:**
$$I(4.8) = \frac{12}{10,000} e^{-4.8/0.2} = 0.0012 \times e^{-24} \approx 0\text{ A}$$
**Final answers:**
(a) $I_{30\Omega} = 0.10$ A
(b) $I_{20\Omega} = 0.10$ A
(c) Current through 10.0-V battery = 0.10 A
$E_1 = 26.0$ V, $E_2 = 16.0$ V, $V_b - V_a = 21.0$ V
Time constant $\tau = 0.2$ s
Charge at $t=0$ is 0 C
Initial current $I(0) = 1.2$ mA
Charge at 0.08 min $= 2.4 \times 10^{-4}$ C
Current at 0.08 min $\approx 0$ A
