A 0.22 F W 5 Ω 4 Ω W 5Ω 4 Ω M You are given the above circuit to diagnose; one part seems to have failed. The voltage source at the top of the circuit is unknown, but assume that it is working correctly for answer the questions below. Also assume that the capacitor has been checked and is also working properly. Facts about the circuit When the switch is closed, the current through the ammeter increases over a short period of time until reaching a steady state (meaning that it no longer changes) current of 0.214 A. You are told that the steady-state current through the ammeter should be 0.25 A, rather than 0.214 A. ● Use the circuit diagram above, as well as the information given above to answer the following questions. One thing to keep in mind is that components can fail one of two ways. They can fail open, which means that the circuit is broken at that component; or they can fail closed, meaning that they are "shorting" the circuit, and letting current flow differently than usual. As an example, a resistor could fail closed, and allow current to flow with no resistance.
