Chapter 4: Q35E (page 843)

The power rating of a light bulb (such as a 100-W bulb) is the power it dissipates when connected across a 120-V potential difference. What is the resistance of (a) a 100-W bulb and (b) a 60-W bulb? (c) How much current does each bulb draw in normal use?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The resistance of 100-W bulb is144惟.
  2. The resistance of 60-W bulb is 240惟.
  3. The current drawn by each bulb is 0.833 A and 0.500 A.

Step by step solution

01

Determination of the resistance of 100-W and 60-W bulbs.

The connection of the bulb is across a 120-V potential difference.

The expression of power is,

P=V2R

Solve for R and 100 W bulb,

role="math" localid="1655719758468" R=V2P=(120V)2(100W)=144惟

Repeat the calculation for 60 W bulb,

R=V2P=(120V)2(60W)=240惟Thus,theresistancesfor100-Wbulbisandfor60Wbulbis144惟andfor60Wbulbis240惟

(b) Determination of the current drawn by each bulb is

Use the Ohm鈥檚 Law

A parallel-plate capacitor is charged by being connected To a battery and is then disconnected from the battery. The separation between the plates is then doubled. How does the electric Field change? The potential difference? The total energy? Explain.

Suppose you bring a slab of dielectric close to the gap between the plates of a charged capacitor, preparing to slide it between the plates. What force will you feel? What does this force tell you about the energy stored between the plates once the dielectric is in place, compared to before the dielectric is in place.

Question: The circuit shown in Fig. P26.74, called a Wheatstone Bridge, is used to determine the value of an unknown resistor X by comparison with three resistors M, N, and P whose resistances can be varied. For each setting, the resistance of each resistor is precisely known. With switches S1 and S2 closed, these resistors are varied until the current in the galvanometer G is zero; the bridge is then said to be balanced. (a) Show that under this condition the unknown resistance is given by X = MP/N. (This method permits very high precision in comparing resistors.) (b) If galvanometer G shows zero deflection when M = 850.0 鈩�, N = 15.00 鈩�, and P = 33.48 鈩�, what is the unknown resistance X?
