In the circuit shown in Fig., E = 24.0 V,R鈧 = 6.00,R3= 12.0, and R鈧 can vary between 3.00and 24.0. For what value ofR鈧 is the power dissipated by heating elementR鈧乼he greatest? Calculate the magnitude of the greatest power.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) 24 is the value of R鈧 is the power dissipated by heating element R鈧 the greatest

b) the magnitude of the greatest poweris 7.84 W

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:

Consider the following circuit, where = 24.0 v, R鈧= 6.00R3= 12.0 , and R鈧俢an vary between 3.00and 24.0 . We need to find R鈧俿uch that the power dissipated by the heating element R鈧乮s the greatest. According to the circuit, the power dissipated by the heating element R鈧乪quals the squared current flowing through it multiplied by its resistance, that is,

P=I21R1 (1)

our mission is to find the current I鈧乮n terms of the resistor R鈧. From the junction rule, we can find that,

I= I鈧+ 1鈧 (2)

apply the loop rule to the left loop (clockwise), and we get,

-I1R1-IR3=0 (3)

and apply it to the right loop (also clockwise), we get,

I1R1=I2R2 (4)

we need to solve (2), (3) and (4) for l1, substitute from (4) into (2) with l0, so we get

I=I1+I1R1R2=I11+R1R2=I1R1+R2R2

substitute into (3) to eliminate 1, so we get

I1R1I2R3R1+R2R2=0

but R3=2R1, so we get

I1R12I1R1R1+R2R2=0I1R11+2R1+R2R2=0I1R12R1+3R2R2=0I1=ER2R12R1+3R2

substituting into (1) we get,

P1=R2R12R1+3R22R1 (5)

02

Step 2:

or,

P1=2R22R14R12+12R1R2+9R22

dividing the denominator and the numerator by R22, so we get,

P1=2R14R12/R22+12R1/R2+9

this is the maximum when the denominator is minimum, and the denominator is minimum whenR2is maximum. The maximum allowed value forR2is 24, so,R3=24

now we need to find the magnitude of the greatest power, substitute into (5), we get,

P1=(24.0V)(24.0)(6.00)(2(6.00))+3(24.0)2(6.00)=7.84WP1=7.84W

A rule of thumb used to determine the internal resistance of a source is that it is the open circuit voltage divide by the short circuit current. Is this correct? Why or why not?

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?

An electrical conductor designed to carry large currents has a circular cross section 2.50 mm in diameter and is 14.0 m long. The resistance between its ends is 0.104. (a) What is the resistivity of the material? (b) If the electric-field magnitude in the conductor is 1.28 V/m, what is the total current? (c) If the material has 8.51028free electrons per cubic meter, find the average drift speed under the conditions of part (b).

Light Bulbs in Series and in Parallel. Two light bulbs have constant resistances of 400and 800. If the two light bulbs are connected in series across a 120Vline, find (a) the current through each bulb; (b) the power dissipated in each bulb; (c) the total power dissipated in both bulbs. The two light bulbs are now connected in parallel across the120Vline. Find (d) the current through each bulb; (e) the power dissipated in each bulb; (f) the total power dissipated in both bulbs. (g) In each situation, which of the two bulbs glows the brightest? (h) In which situation is there a greater total light output from both bulbs combined?
