Chapter 4: Q8E (page 777)
Three equal 1.20 碌C point charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle with sides 0.400 m long. What is the potential energy of the system? (Take as zero the potential energy of the three charges when they are infinitely far apart.)
The potential energy of the system is 0.097 J.

A metal bar with length L, mass m, and resistance R is placed on frictionless metal rails that are inclined at an angle f above the horizontal. The rails have negligible resistance. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude B is directed downward as shown in Fig. P29.69 . the bar is released from rest and slides down the rails. (a) Is the direction of the current induced in the
bar from a to b or from b to a? (b) What is the terminal speed of the bar? (c) What is the induced current in the bar when the terminal speed has been reached? (d) After the terminal speed has been reached, at what rate is electrical energy being converted to thermal energy in the resistance of the bar? (e) After the terminal speed has been reached, at what rate is work being done on the bar by gravity? Compare your answer to that in part (d)
A current was sent through a helical coil spring. The spring contracted, as though it had been compressed. Why?
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 the
resistor, (c) the terminal voltage of the battery.
Fig. E25.28.
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?
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?
