For a current probe in series with a capacitator
1. What would the Current Probe read soon after you connected the leads to the battery? Why?
2. Suppose you were able to connect the leads to the battery momentarily, disconnect them, then flip the battery, reconnect the leads, and repeat the process a number of times. What effect would this have on the current in the circuit? Why?
3. If the capacitor were replaced by an inductor and the leads were connected to the battery, how would the current vary over time? Why?
4. Suppose that you repeated the same battery flip process described above. What effect would this have on the current in the circuit? Why?
