Refer to Figure 21.7and the discussion of lights dimming when a heavy
appliance comes on. (a) Given the voltage source is 120 V, the wire resistance is,and the bulb is nominally 75.0W , what power will the bulb dissipate if a total of 15.0 Apasses through the wires when the motor comes on? Assume negligible change in bulb resistance. (b) What power is consumed by the motor?
(a) What is the internal resistance of a \(1.54{\rm{ }}V\) dry cell that supplies \(1.00{\rm{ }}W\) of power to a \(15.0{\rm{ }}\Omega \) bulb?
(b) What is unreasonable about this result?
(c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
When making an ECG measurement, it is important to measure voltage variations over small time intervals. The time is limited by the \(RC\) constant of the circuit-it is not possible to measure time variations shorter than \(RC\). How would you manipulate \(R\) and \(C\) in the circuit to allow necessary measurements?
Two resistors, one having a resistance of, are connected in series to produce a total resistance of . (a) What is the value of the second resistance? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
A heart defibrillator being used on a patient has an RC time constant of due to the resistance of the patient and the capacitance of the defibrillator. (a) If the defibrillator has ancapacitance, what is the resistance of the path through the patient? (You may neglect the capacitance of the patient and the resistance of the defibrillator.) (b) If the initial voltage is, how long does it take to decline to?
