- | * The wire has very very small resistance when compared to the other resistors in the circuit. | + | * The wire has very very small resistance when compared to the other resistors in the circuit: This allows there to be no energy loss across the wires and no potential difference across them either, simplifying down the model. |
- | * The resistors in the circuit are made of Ohmic materials. | + | * The resistors in the circuit are made of Ohmic materials: Ohmic materials have a linear relationship between voltage and current, this allows us to use ohms law. |
- | * Practically speaking, the capacitors becomes "fully charged" | + | * Practically speaking, the capacitors becomes "fully charged" |
