1. Current is the rate at which charge is flowing. As the current flows in the direction you indicated, will the amount of charge on the left plate of the capacitor increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

2. As the current flows in the direction you indicated, will the amount of charge on the right plate of the capacitor increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

3. So as the current flows in the direction you indicated, will the voltage across the capacitor increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

4. Using what you determined about the change in the voltage across the capacitor, will the voltage across the resistor increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

5. Using what you determined about the change in the voltage across the resistor, will the current flowing in the circuit increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

6. Since current is the rate at which charge is flowing, if the current in the circuit decreases, what does that mean about the rate at which the charge (and voltage) on the capacitor changes?

7. Sketch your predictions for the graphs of voltage across the resistor versus time and current in the circuit versus time for the RC circuit.
