I'm about to graduate with a BS in Physics and am currently trying to decide which graduate school to attend. I'm trying to decide between four right now (UIUC, U of Michigan, Northwestern, and Indiana U). I'm not completely set on an area of research yet, and I'm trying to consider the various...

ahhh i think i see now. so the loop law would be V(battery)-V(capacitor)-V(R2)=0, so since Vb=Vc, the voltage across the resistor is double the battery voltage. that makes a lot more sense. thanks!

Homework Statement I've attached the problem in the pdf, which includes the circuit diagram, but I'll copy the text of the problem here: (a) Draw the equivalent circuit when the switches are in the position indicated in the diagram and calculate the potential difference that develops...

I'm writing personal statements for my grad school applications, and in most of the threads in this forum giving advice for personal statements, they say to add a paragraph talking about specifically what research at that university interests you, and what professors you might like to work with...
