If two household lightbulbs rated 60W and 100W are connected in series to household power, which will be brighter? Explain.
A switch has a variable resistance that is nearly zero when closed and extremely large when open, and it is placed in series with the device it controls. Explain the effect the switch in Figure 21.43 has on current when open and when close
A heart pacemaker fires 72 times a minute, each time a 25.0-nF capacitor is charged (by a battery in series with a resistor) to 0.632 of its full voltage. What is the value of the resistance?
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 .
Find the currents flowing in the circuit in Figure\(21.52\). Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategies for Series and Parallel Resistors.
