   * The wire has very very small resistance when compared to the other resistors in the circuit: Having wires with a very small resistance allows us to ignore any potential differences across the wires while also ensuring the initial current in the circuit isn't too high.    * The wire has very very small resistance when compared to the other resistors in the circuit: Having wires with a very small resistance allows us to ignore any potential differences across the wires while also ensuring the initial current in the circuit isn't too high. 
   * We are measuring things like potential differences and charges when the circuit is in a steady state: As we know capacitors create a quasi-steady state while they are charging which can make things tough. It is easier to look at the final state when they are fully charged and the current in the circuit is not changing with time.   * We are measuring things like potential differences and charges when the circuit is in a steady state: As we know capacitors create a quasi-steady state while they are charging which can make things tough.

-  * Approximating the battery as a mechanical battery.+  * Approximating the battery as a mechanical battery: This means the battery will supply a steady power source to the circuit to keep it in steady state.
   * Capacitors are parallel plate capacitors: Assuming this geometry allows us to use the equation provided in the notes about the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor. This Equation would change if we changed the shape of the capacitor.   * Capacitors are parallel plate capacitors: Assuming this geometry allows us to use the equation provided in the notes about the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor.
