An RC circuit is connected across an ideal DC voltage source through an open switch. The switch is closed at time t = 0 s. Which of the following statements regarding the circuit are correct? (There may be more than one correct choice.)
 
  A) The capacitor charges to its maximum value in one time constant and the current is zero at that time.
  B) The potential difference across the resistor and the potential difference across the capacitor are always equal.
  C) The potential difference across the resistor is always greater than the potential difference across the capacitor.
  D) The potential difference across the capacitor is always greater than the potential difference across the resistor
  E) Once the capacitor is essentially fully charged, there is no appreciable current in the circuit.

Question 2

A resistor is made out of a long wire having a length L. Each end of the wire is attached to a terminal of a battery providing a constant voltage V0.
 
  A current I flows through the wire. If the wire were cut in half, making two wires of length L/2, and both wires were attached to the battery (the end of both wires attached to one terminal, and the other ends attached to the other terminal), what would be the total current flowing through the two wires?
  A) 4I
  B) 2I
  C) I
  D) I/2
  E) I/4

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.
