In summary, the conversation discusses a series circuit with a capacitor and the computation of current and voltage. The speaker provides alternative methods for solving parts (b) and (c) and points out incorrect equations used by the other person. They also question the understanding of the equations and request clarification on the attempted solution for part (a).

For part (c), the current is the same everywhere in a series circuit, and can be computed by ## i=\frac{dq}{dt} ## when there is a capacitor in the circuit, where ##q ## is the charge on the capacitor. This can also be used for part b. (Your part (b) is incorrect). Alternatively, you could compute ## V_R=\mathcal{E}-V_C ## where ## V_c=\frac{q}{C} ##.

I get the feeling that you are trying to use some equations without fully understanding them.
1. Why do you think the equation I = q/t is right?
2. I do not see your attempt at part (a). That part is crucial to the understanding of the problem.
3. I do not understand your first value for q, which looks like q = 1 10^(-6) . 10
4. Then there is a second value for q = 3.93 10^(-6) C. Why did you use the same symbol for two different values?
5. The way you got the value for I = 0.08 A is wrong. That equation for I is not valid.
 

1. How can I prove that my homework is correct?

Proving the correctness of your homework involves providing evidence or logical reasoning to support your answers. This can include using relevant formulas, equations, or examples to demonstrate your understanding of the subject matter. It is also important to check your work for any errors or mistakes before submitting it.

2. What does it mean to have my homework "checked"?

Having your homework checked means having someone, such as a teacher or tutor, review your work and provide feedback. This can help identify any errors or areas for improvement in your understanding of the material. It is important to actively engage with the feedback and make necessary revisions to improve your understanding.

3. What should I do if I am stumped on a homework problem?

If you are stumped on a homework problem, it is important to first try to break down the problem and identify any key concepts or information that may be relevant. You can also try looking at similar examples or asking for help from a teacher or classmate. If you are still struggling, it may be helpful to take a break and come back to the problem with a fresh perspective.

4. How can I check my own work for mistakes?

To check your own work for mistakes, it is important to carefully review each step of your problem-solving process. Pay attention to any calculations or steps where you may have made a mistake. It can also be helpful to double check your work using a different method or approach. Additionally, taking breaks and coming back to your work with a fresh mind can also help identify any errors.

5. What are some tips for effectively completing homework?

Some tips for effectively completing homework include starting early, breaking down larger tasks into smaller, more manageable ones, and seeking help when needed. It is also important to create a designated study space, minimize distractions, and actively engage with the material while completing the homework. Additionally, taking breaks and staying organized can also help improve efficiency and understanding of the material.
