Question

Which, if any, of the following statements about the above circuit is/are true? Take the potential at the bottom of the circuit to be zero.

Answer 1

If R2 = 0, then the potential at point a would be zero.
When the switch, S, is closed, the potential at point a depends only on the resistors R1 and R2, and not on the capacitors C1 and C2.
When the switch, S, is open, the potential at point a depends only on the resistors R1 and R2, and not on the capacitors C1 and C2.
If R1 = R2 then the potential at point a will be V/2 when the switch, S, is open.
If R1 = 0, then the potential at point a would be V.
If R1 > R2, then the potential at point a will be greater than V/2 when the switch, S, is open.

Answer 2

@Astro103 I'll help you with this.
Do you have any ideas about this?

Answer 3

I know that point A doesnt switch change when the switch is closed.
I actually have to go but I will be back in a few hours

Answer 4

ok, call me here, when you are back

Answer 5

Ok I'm back

Answer 6

I also got back now, let's check the first option. What do you think about it?

Answer 7

I don't think the potential would be zero.

Answer 8

if R2=0, then there is a short path between point a and ground, like this

ground is at zero potential
