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

Q) A straight, nonconducting plastic wire 8.50 cm long carries a charge density of +175 nC/m distributed uniformly along its length. It is lying on a horizontal tabletop. (a) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field this wire produces at a point 6.00 cm directly above its midpoint. (b) If the wire is now bent into a circle lying flat on the table, find the magnitude and direction of the electric field it produces at a point 6.00 cm directly above its center.

In Europe the standard voltage in homes is 220 V instead of the 120 used in the United States. Therefore a 鈥100-W鈥 European bulb would be intended for use with a 220-V potential difference (see Problem 25.36). (a) If you bring a 鈥100-W鈥 European bulb home to the United States, what should be its U.S. power rating? (b) How much current will the 100-W European bulb draw in normal use in the United States?

Two copper wires with different diameter are joined end to end. If a current flow in the wire combination, what happens to electrons when they move from the large diameter wire into the smaller diameter wire? Does their drift speed increase, decrease, or stay the same? If the drift speed change, what is the role the force that causes the change? Explain your reasoning.
