Magnetic field and current related questions
An initially uncharged capacitor with a capacitance of C= 00 pF is connected in series with resistor with a resistance of R= 4.5 kn. If this series combination of circuit elements is attached to an ideal battery with an emf of f= 450 V by means of a switch S that is closed at time t = 0, then answer the following questions.
(a) What is the time constant of this circuit?
(b) How long will it take for the capacitor to reach 75% of its final charge?
(c) What is the final charge on the capacitor?

A long, straight wire in the .r-y plane lies along the z-axis and carries a current of 3.5 A in the -kr An electron is also located in the r-y plane on the y-axis at y = —5.0 cm (r = 0). The electron is moving in the -ky direction (towards the long, straight wire) with a speed of 6.6 n 10° m/s.
(a) What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field vector due to the long, straight wire at the location of the electron?
(b) What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the electron?
(c) Include a diagram of the situation. [Diagram 3 pts.]
