Before working on a power transmission line, linemen will touch the line with the back of the hand as a final check that the voltage is zero. Why the back of the hand?
A North American tourist takes his \(25.0 - W\), \(120 - V\) AC razor to Europe, finds a special adapter, and plugs it into \(240{\rm{ }}V\) AC. Assuming constant resistance, what power does the razor consume as it is ruined?
Verify that the units of a volt-ampere are watts, as implied by the equation \(P = IV\).
What determines the severity of a shock? Can you say that a certain voltage is hazardous without further information?
What is the effective resistance of a car’s starter motor when \({\bf{150}}\;{\bf{A}}\) flows through it as the car battery applies \({\bf{11}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{V}}\) to the motor?
