A heating element made of tungsten wire is connected to a large battery that has negligible internal resistance. When the heating elementreaches80.0°C , it consumes electrical energy at a rate of 480W. What is itspower consumption when its temperature is 150.0°C? Assume that thetemperature coefficient of resistivity has the value given in Table 25.2 and thatit is constant over the temperature range in this problem. In Eq. (25.12) takeT0 to be 20.0°C.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The power at temperature 150.0°C is 383 W .

Step by step solution

01

Define the ohm’s law, resistance (R) and power (P).

According to Ohm’s law the current flowing through conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.

V=IR

Where, Iis current in ampere A, R is resistance in ohms Ω and V is the potential difference volt role="math" localid="1664174969095" V.

The ratio of V to I for a particular conductor is called its resistance R :

R=VIor ÒÏLA

Where, ÒÏis resistivity Ω·m, Lis length in m andA is area in m2.

Also,R=R01+αT-T0

The power(P) is the product of potential difference(V) and the current(I) .

P=VIorI2RorV2R

02

Given values

Given that, at temperature80.0°C the power is 480 W , the reference temperatureT0 is20.0°C and the coefficient of tungstenα is0.0045C°-1 .

03

Step 3:Determine the potential difference.

The resistance at temperature80.0°Cis

localid="1664175441780" R=R01+αT-T0=R01+0.004580-20=1.27R0

Now, the potential difference is

P=V2R480=V21.27R0V=480[1.27R0]V=24.6R0

Hence, potential difference at temperature80.0°C is 24.6R0.

04

Determine the power at temperature .

The resistance at temperature is

R=R01+αT-T0=R01+0.0045150-20=1.58R0

Now, the power at temperature is

P=V2R=24.6R021.58R0=605.2R01.58R0=383W

Hence the power at temperature150.0°C is 383 W .

When a resistor with resistance Ris connected to a 1.50-V flashlight battery, the resistor consumes 0.0625 W of electrical power. (Throughout, assume that each battery has negligible internal resistance.) (a) What power does the resistor consume if it is connected to a 12.6-V car battery? Assume that Rremains constant when the power consumption changes. (b) The resistor is connected to a battery and consumes 5.00 W. What is the voltage of this battery?

An idealized ammeter is connected to a battery as shown in Fig.

E25.28. Find (a) the reading of the ammeter, (b) the current through the4.00Ω

resistor, (c) the terminal voltage of the battery.

A typical small flashlight contains two batteries, each having an emf of1.5V, connected in series with a bulb having resistance17Ω. (a) If the internal resistance of the batteries is negligible, what power is delivered to the bulb? (b) If the batteries last for1.5hwhat is the total energy delivered to the bulb? (c) The resistance of real batteries increases as they run down. If the initial internal resistance is negligible, what is the combined internal resistance of both batteries when the power to the bulb has decreased to half its initial value? (Assume that the resistance of the bulb is constant. Actually, it will change somewhat when the current through the filament changes, because this changes the temperature of the filament and hence the resistivity of the filament wire.)

The definition of resistivity (ÒÏ=EJ) implies that an electrical field exist inside a conductor. Yet we saw that in chapter 21 there can be no electrostatic electric field inside a conductor. Is there can be contradiction here? Explain.

Why does an electric light bulb nearly always burn out just as you turn on the light, almost never while the light is shining?
