Chapter 34 Current and DC Circuit

So far we have studied electric phenomena associated with stationary charges and test charges moving in a space where electric field of other charges is constant in time. In this chapter we will study ways to quantify the current associated with movement of charges and various ways we can control the amount of current in circuits that have a steady power source and conductors connected in various geometric configurations. We will also cover circuits that have capacitors and how currents rise and fall when a circuit with capacitor is turned on or off.
