If a voltage is applied to a capacitor, current flows easily at first and then slows as the capacitor becomes charged. inductors behave just the opposite, in that they reluctantly pass current when a voltage is first applied, and then the current passes easily as time passes. if the input voltage is suddenly raised from zero to some constant value, sketch the current in the capacitor, ic, and the inductor, il, as a function of time. what is the steady-state current in the capacitor and inductor?

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
