(a) If the current through a battery is doubled, by what factor is the battery power increased? (b) If the current through a resistor is doubled, by what factor is the power dissipation increased? (c) Explain why these factors are the same or different (depending on what you find).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The power of the battery is constant.

Step by step solution

01

Assume some data on the bases of the given question.

Let assume small charge qis moves from one place to another place.

The change in the electric potential energy is equal to the work done to move charge from one place to another place.

The change in the potential energy is U.

02

Determine the formulas to calculate the factor by which the battery power in increased.

The power is defined as the ratio of the change in the potential energy with respect to time.

The expression to calculate the power is given as follows.

P=Ut 鈥︹ (i)

Here, is the change in potential energy and is the change is time.

03

Calculate the factor by which the battery power in increased.

The potential energy to move the charge from one place to another is given by the product of the small charge and potential difference.

U=qV

Calculate the power of the battery,

SubstituteqV for Uinto equation (i).

P=qVtP=qtV

Substitute Ifor q/tinto above equation.

P=IV 鈥︹ (ii)

According to the ohm鈥檚 law, the potential difference is directly proportional to the current of circuit.

V=IR

Substitute IRfor Vinto equation (ii).

P=IIRP=I2RP=VR2RP=V2R

Therefore, the above power produce by the battery is remains the constant even the current of through the battery is double because the power produce by the battery is maximum power.

Hence the power of the battery is constant.

Which of the following statements about the discharging of a capacitor through a light bulb are correct? Choose all that are true. (1) The fringe field of the capacitor decreases as the charge on the capacitor plates decreases. (2) Electrons flow across the gap between the plates of the capacitor, thus reducing the charge on the capacitor. (3) The electric field at a location inside the wire is due to charge on the surface of the wires and charge on the plates of the capacitor. (4) Electrons in the wires flow away from the negative plate toward the positive plate, reducing the charge on the plates.

Using thick connecting wires that are very good conductors, a Nichrome wire (鈥渨ire 1鈥) of length L1 and cross-sectional area A1 is connected in series with a battery and an ammeter (this is circuit 1). The reading on the ammeter is I1. Now the Nichrome wire is removed and replaced with a different wire (鈥渨ire 2鈥), which is 2.5 times as long and has 5.5 times the cross-sectional area of the original wire (this is circuit 2). In the following question, a subscript 1 refers to circuit 1, and a subscript 2 refers to circuit 2. It will be helpful to write out your solutions to the following questions algebraically before doing numerical calculations. (Hint: Think about what is the same in these two circuits.)(a) What is the value of I2/ I1, the ratio of the conventional currents in the two circuits? (b) What is the value of R2/ R1, the ratio of the resistances of the wires? (c) What is the value of E2/ E1, the ratio of the electric fields inside the wires in the steady states?

Consider two capacitors whose only difference is that the plates of capacitor number 2 are closer together than those of capacitor number 1 (Figure 19.56). Neither, capacitors has an insulating layer between the plates. They are placed in two different circuits having similar batteries and bulbs in series with the capacitor.

Show that in the first fraction of a second, the current stays nearly constant (decreases less rapidly) in the circuit with capacitor number 2. Explain your reasoning in detail.

Hint: Show charges on metal plates, and consider the electric fields they produce in the nearby wires. Remember that the fringe field near a plate outside a circular capacitor is approximately-

(QAo)(s2R)

More extensive analysis shows that this trend holds true for the entire charging process: the capacitor with the narrower gap ends up with more charge on the plates.

When a single thin-filament bulb is connected to a 1.5Vbattery, the current through the battery is about80mAIf you add another thin-filament bulb in parallel, the battery current of course increase to160mA. Is the battery ohmic? That is, is the current through the battery proportional to the potential difference across the battery?

When a particular capacitor, which is initially uncharged, is connected to a battery and a small light bulb, the light bulb is initially bright but gradually gets dimmer, and after 45s it goes out. The diagrams in Figure 19.71 show the electric field in the circuit and the surface charge distribution on the wires at three different times ( 0.01s, 8s, and 240s) after the connection to the bulb is made. Which of the diagrams best represents the state of the circuit at each time specified?

(a)0.01safter the connection is made,

(b)8safter the connection is made,

(c)240safter the connection is made.
