Q5. What is the potential difference across a capacitor of 5 µF charged to 10V?
Solution:
The potential difference across a capacitor is equal to the voltage it is charged to, which is 10V.

Q6. Using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, what is the voltage drop across a 10Ω resistor if the total voltage in the loop is 20V and there is a 5Ω resistor in series?
Solution:
Using KVL, V_total = V_R1 + V_R2. V_R1 = 20V - (I * 5Ω). I = V/R = 20V / 15Ω = 1.33 A. V_R1 = 10Ω * 1.33 A = 13.33V.
