Two resistors, one having a resistance of , are connected in parallel 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?
Find the resistance that must be placed in parallel with a \(10.0 - \Omega \) galvanometer having a \(100 - \mu A\) sensitivity to allow it to be used as an ammeter with:
(a) a \(20.0 - A\) full-scale reading, and
(b) a \(100 - mA\) full-scale reading.
Calculate theof a dry cell for which a potentiometer is balanced when, while an alkaline standard cell with an emf of requiresto balance the potentiometer.
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!)
(a) What is the terminal voltage of a large 1.54 v carbon-zinc dry cell used in a physics lab to supply 2.00 a to a circuit, if the cell's internal resistance is ? (b) How much electrical power does the cell produce? (c) What power goes to its load?
