Chapter 23 5. Name two kinds of practical “electric pumps.” Batteries and Generators 15. Does a battery produce dc or ac? Does the generator at a power station produce dc or ac? A battery typically produces direct current (DC). The generator at a power station can produce either direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC), depending on the design. 19. What is the error in saying that electrons in a common battery-driven circuit travel at about the speed of light? The electrons do nor move at the speed of lights, because it the generated electric field that moves at the speed of light 27. Which of these is a unit of power and which is a unit of energy: a watt, a kilowatt, a kilowatt-hour? Watt is a unit of power. Kilowatt is also a unit of power. Kilowatt-hour is a unit of energy. 31. In a circuit of two lamps in parallel, if there is a voltage of 6 V across one lamp, what is the voltage across the other lamp? In a circuit of two lamps in parallel, the voltage across each lamp is the same. Therefore, if there is a voltage of 6 V across one lamp, the voltage across the other lamp is also 6 V. In parallel circuits, the voltage is constant across all components connected in parallel.
