An AC electric motor is connected to a 240-V, 60-Hz source. A clamp-on ammeter with a peak hold function reveals that the motor has an inrush current of 34 A when the motor is first started. Your job is to reduce the inrush current to a value of 20 A by connecting a resistor in series with the motor. The resistor will be shunted out of the circuit after the motor is started. Using an ohmmeter, you find that the motor has a wire resistance of 3 . How much resistance should be connected in series with the motor to reduce the starting current to 20 A?
Two batteries, A and B, are connected in parallel, and an 80W resistor is connected across the battery terminals.

About 20% of a home’s use of energy goes to lighting, while the number for commercial establishments is closer to 40%. Fluorescent lights are about four times more efficient than incandescent lights—this is true for both the long tubes and the compact fluorescent lights (CFL). Thus, a 60-W incandescent bulb can be replaced by a 15-W CFL, which has the same brightness and color. The heat transfer from these CFLs is less, and they last up to 10 times longer. New white LED lights (which are clusters of small LED bulbs) are even more efficient (twice that of CFLs) and last 5 times longer than CFLs. However, their cost is still high. If the cost of electricity in your area is P10 per kWh, what is the total cost (capital plus operation) of using a 60-W incandescent bulb for 1000 hours (the lifetime of that bulb) if the bulb cost P100? If we replace this bulb with a compact fluorescent light that provides the same light output, but at 1/4 the wattage, and which costs P20 but lasts 10 times…
