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.
a. What are the magnitude and direction of the current in the resistor in FIGURE ?
b. Draw a graph of the potential as a function of the distance traveled through the circuit, traveling cw from at the lower left corner.

The battery in FIGURE is short-circuited by an ideal ammeter having zero resistance.
a. What is the battery’s internal resistance?
b. How much power is dissipated inside the battery?
