Electricity (charge on capacitor in circuit)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the charge on a capacitor in a circuit with a battery having internal resistance. Participants express confusion about how to start solving the problem and how to apply Kirchhoff's laws to capacitors. It is noted that the circuit is in a steady state, meaning the voltage across the capacitor equals the source voltage, resulting in no current flow through the capacitor. Clarification is provided that Kirchhoff's laws apply universally, regardless of whether resistors or capacitors are involved. Understanding these principles is essential for solving the problem effectively.

The problem supposes that the circuit has been connected for a long time, so it is in steady state.
Connecting a capacitor to a voltage source, what drives current through the capacitor? If the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the voltage of the source, does current flow through the capacitor?

For both of Kirchhoff's laws it doesn't matter at all if you use a resistor, a capacitor or anything.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
