Current in a Resistor-Capacitor Circuit with -5V EMF

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a circuit with a -5V EMF, a 5-ohm resistor, and a 20 F capacitor, questioning the current flow. It emphasizes that the original poster posted in the wrong section and failed to follow forum guidelines, including multiple postings in an inappropriate category. Participants stress the importance of showing prior attempts at solving the problem to receive constructive help. The presence of the capacitor will influence the current, particularly during charging and discharging phases. Proper adherence to forum rules and guidelines is essential for effective assistance.

If there is a circuit with--Emf -5V and one 5ohm resistor and one 20 F capacitor, what is the current of the circuit?
Will there be any effects on current because of capacitor?

Please note these THREE points:

1. You posted in the wrong section of PF. Did you miss the Homework Help section at the very TOP of the PF list?

2. You multiple post this in the classical physics section. This is a no-no. You may want to read PF's guildelines before you proceed.

3. You should not expect anyone to do your work for you. Please read the Sticky in the Homework help section and note that you should, at the very least, show what you have attempted to do so that we know where we should start in presented to you an explanation.

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
