An uncharged 30.0-F capacitor is connected in series with a 25.0- resistor, a DC battery, and an open switch. The battery has an internal resistance of 10.0  and the open-circuit voltage across its terminals is 50.0 V.
 
  The leads have no appreciable resistance. At time t = 0, the switch is suddenly closed.
  (a) What is the maximum current through the 25.0- resistor and when does it occur (immediately after closing the switch or after the switch has been closed for a long time)?
  (b) What is the maximum charge that the capacitor receives?
  (c) When the current in the circuit is 0.850 A, how much charge is on the plates of the capacitor?

Question 2

A wire, 6.0 m long, with a mass of 10 g, is under tension. A transverse wave is propagated on the wire, for which the frequency is 280 Hz, the wavelength is 0.60 m, and the amplitude is 8.4 mm.
 
  The time, for a crest of the transverse wave to travel the length of the wire, in ms, is closest to: A) 36
  B) 31
  C) 40
  D) 44
  E) 49

The cure for trichomoniasis is easy as long as the patient does not drink alcoholic beverages for 24 hours. Just a single dose of medication is needed to rid the body of the disease. However, without proper precautions, an individual may contract the disease repeatedly. In fact, most people develop trichomoniasis again within three months of their last treatment.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
