Construe! Your Own Problem Consider a rechargeable lithium cell that is to be used to power a camcorder. Construct a problem in which you calculate the internal resistance of the cell during normal operation. Also, calculate the minimum voltage output of a battery charger to be used to recharge your lithium cell. Among the things to be considered are the emf and useful terminal voltage of a lithium cell and the current it should be able to supply to a camcorder.

Figure P18.19 shows a Wheatstone bridge, a circuit used to precisely measure an unknown resistance R by varying Rvar until the ammeter reads zero current and the bridge is said to be balanced. If the bridge is balanced with Rvar = 9.00 , find (a) the value of the unknown resistance Rand (b) the current in the 1.00 resistor. (Hint: With the bridge balanced, the wire through the ammeter can effectively be removed from the circuit, leaving two pairs of resistors in parallel.) Figure Pl8.19

(a) Digital medical thermometers determine temperature by measuring the resistance of a semiconductor device called a thermistor (which has a= - 0.0600/°C ) when it is at the same temperature as the patient.

(b) The negative value for a may not be maintained for very low temperatures. Discuss why and whether this is the case here. (Hint: Resistance can’t become negative.)
Figure P18.19 shows a Wheatstone bridge, a circuit used to precisely measure an unknown resistance R by varying Rvar until the ammeter reads zero current and the bridge is said to be balanced. If the bridge is balanced with Rvar = 9.00 , find (a) the value of the unknown resistance Rand (b) the current in the 1.00 resistor.

Review. When a straight wire is warmed, its resistance is given by R = R0,[1 + a(T T0)] according to Equation 27.20, where a is the temperature coefficient of resistivity. This expression needs to be modified if we include the change in dimensions of the wire due to thermal expansion. For a copper wire of radius 0.100 0 mm and length 2.000 m, find its resistance at 100.0C, including the effects of both thermal expansion and temperature variation of resistivity. Assume the coefficients are known to four significant figures.
