A 12 V car battery dies not so much because its voltage drops but because chemical reactions increase its internal resistance. A good battery connected with jumper cables can both start the engine and recharge the dead battery. Consider the automotive circuit of FIGURE P28.65.
a. How much current could the good battery alone drive through the starter motor?
b. How much current is the dead battery alone able to drive through the starter motor?
c. With the jumper cables attached, how much current passes through the starter motor?
d. With the jumper cables attached, how much current passes through the dead battery, and in which direction?

For the circuit shown in FIGURE , find the current through and the potential difference across each resistor. Place your results in a table for ease of reading.

The switch in FIGURE CP28.80 has been closed for a very long time.
a. What is the charge on the capacitor?
b. The switch is opened at t = 0 s. At what time has the charge on the capacitor decreased to 10% of its initial value?

Bulbs A and B in FIGURE Q28.12 are identical, and both are glowing. What happens to each bulb when the switch is closed? Does its brightness increase, stay the same, decrease, or go out? Explain

You’ve made the finals of the Science Olympics! As one of your tasks, you’re given 1.0 g of aluminum and asked to make a wire, using all the aluminum, that will dissipate 7.5 W when connected to a 1.5 V battery. What length and diameter will you choose for your wire?
