A student in a physics lab mistakenly wired a light bulb, battery, and switch as shown in Figure 21.44. Explain why the bulb is on when the switch is open, and off when the switch is closed. (Do not try this鈥攊t is hard on the battery!)
If a potentiometer is used to measure cell on the order of a few volts, why is it most accurate for the standard to be the same order of magnitude and the resistances to be in the range of a few ?
Show that if two resistors and are combined and one is much greater than the other : (a) Their series resistance is very nearly equal to the greater resistance (b) Their parallel resistance is very nearly equal to smaller resistance .
Two different automobile batteries on a store shelf are rated at and 鈥渃old cranking amps.鈥 Which has the smallest internal resistance?
Referring to Figure 21.6, (a) CalculateP3and note how it compares withfound in the first two example problems in this module. (b) Find the total power supplied by the source and compare it with the sum of the powers dissipated by the resistors.
