AP Physics C : Study Guide Ch. 28-29

INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this unit, you should be able to:

• Define emf as work per unit charge

• Recognize the difference between ideal and real emf devices.

• State Kirchhoff's laws (junction rule and loop rule) for analyzing circuits.

• Use these laws to analyze single and multiple loop circuits.

• Calculate equivalent resistances for series and parallel resistances.

• Analyze RC circuits using the capacitive time constant to find charge or current at any time during charging or discharging.

• TIMETABLE
