-==== Project 7B: TBD ====+==== Project 7B: Dr. Walzule's Map Emergency ====
 On one of Dr. Jackie Walzule's Jeep expeditions in the Upper Penisula, her phone charger cable suddenly stops working and she desperately needs her phone for directions/GPS. Isolated in the UP, she must pull a "MacGuyver" and create a charging circuit from the various circuit elements in her car's emergency kit. (Yes she carries circuit elements in her car for just such an occasion.) Dr. Jackie has started to draw out a circuit diagram that uses her car battery as a power source (12.5 V), but she is worried if she directly connects her phone to it, the battery will completely fry her phone. Instead, she has decided that it would be best to use the car battery to charge some capacitors and then discharge those through the phone.  On one of Dr. Jackie Walzule's Jeep expeditions in the Upper Penisula, her phone charger cable suddenly stops working and she desperately needs her phone for directions/GPS.

-In her emergency kit, Dr. Jackie has one switch, a variety of 10 $\Omega$, 15 $\Omega$, 20 $\Omega$, and 25 $\Omega$ resistors, and a variety of 100 F, 200 F and 300 F capacitors. She has told you to place any of the elements wherever you need in the circuit, as long as it meets those conditions. In your final solution, make sure you include: a circuit diagram with your added elements, a demonstration of how your circuit meets the criteria, and what you expect in the circuit at different points in time (i.e. when the switch opened/closed, where does current flow, is the capacitor charged/discharged at that point in time).+In her emergency kit, Dr. Jackie has two switches, a variety of 10 $\Omega$, 15 $\Omega$, 20 $\Omega$, and 25 $\Omega$ resistors, and a variety of 10 F, 100 F and 1000 F capacitors.
