It seems hard to justify spending for a compact fluorescent lightbulb when an ordinary incandescent bulb costs . To see if this makes sense, compare a incandescent bulb lasting hours to a compact fluorescent bulb having a lifetime of hours. Both bulbs produce the same amount of visible light and are interchangeable. If electricity costs , what is the total cost—purchase plus energy— to obtain hours of light from each type of bulb? This is called the life-cycle cost.
What is the equivalent resistance between points a and b in FIGURE EX28.27?

A circuit you’re building needs an ammeter that goes from to a full-scale reading of . Unfortunately, the only ammeter in the storeroom goes from to a full-scale reading of only . Fortunately, you’ve just finished a physics class, and you realize that you can make this ammeter work by putting a resistor in parallel with it, as shown in FIGURE P28.57. You’ve measured that the resistance of the ammeter is, not theof an ideal ammeter.
a. What value of R must you use so that the meter will go to full scale when the current I is?
b. What is the effective resistance of your ammeter?
An electric eel develops a potential difference between its head and tail. The eel can stun a fish or other prey by using this potential difference to drive a current pulse for . What are
(a) the energy delivered by this pulse and
(b) the total charge that flows?
