A) Draw a circuit including: two batteries in series, one capacitor, one switch, one light bulb. Add to the circuit a voltmeter measuring capacitor voltage in parallel and an ammeter measuring the current in the light bulb in series. B) Ignoring resistance in batteries, wires, and the switch, describe how the following circuit quantities change over time after the switch is closed in the circuit: a) current, b) voltage across the capacitor (Vc), c) voltage across the light bulb (Vb), and d) Vb + Vc.
C) Imagine repeating the timing experiments you can in this lab, only this time starting with a partially-charged capacitor. Describe how the timings differ from above, explaining how this difference originated from specific electrical quantities in the circuit (e. g. charge, voltage, etc.)
