While taking photographs in Death Valley on a day when the temperature is 58.0C, Bill Hiker finds that a certain voltage applied to a copper wire produces a current of 1.000 A. Bill then travels to Antarctica and applies the same voltage to the same wire. What current does he register there if the temperature is 88.0C? Assume that no change occurs in the wires shape and size.
Resistors are commonly rated at 18W,14W,12W ,1 W and 2 W for use in electrical circuits. If a current of1 = 2.00 A is accidentally passed through a R=1.00 resistor rated at 1 W, what would be the most probable outcome? Is there anything that can be done to prevent such an accident?
A DC battery provides a constant current of I= 63mA. Assume the battery started with a voltage of V= 11Volts at time t=0 and that the voltage provided by the battery decayed to half of its initial value after a time of t= 149hours. If the voltage provided by the battery decreased linearly over time, find the total energy provided by the battery over the 149 hour time period. Express your answer in units of kJ (kilo-joules).
The figure shows an LED, protected by a resistor R, which is powered by a 9 Volt battery. If the power of the LED is 70 milliwatts and the voltage drop across the LED is 3.5 volts, determine the value of the resistor R in ohms that should be used in the circuit.
Semitractor trucks use four large 12-V batteries. The starter system requires 24 V, while normal operation of the truck’s other electrical components utilizes 12 V. How could the four batteries be connected to produce 24 V? To produce 12 V? Why is 24 V better than 12 V for starting the truck’s engine (a very heavy load)?
A typical AAA battery can move 2000 C of charge at 1.5 V. How long will this run a 50 mW LED? a. 1000 minutes b. 120,000 seconds c. 15 hours d. 250 minutes
A certain flashlight is connected to a 6.0-Vemf battery and has an internal resistance of 0.100. What power does the 0.500 M load dissipate? If the internal resistance grows to 0.400 2, what is the new current, terminal voltage, and power dissipated by a 0.500 M load resistance?
the voltage across a 3.71uf capacitor in a tv circuit is 4.54 mV. Find the voltage after 0.563ms if a current is given below (in uA) further changes the capacitor. i= (1+6t)^(1/3) The voltage at t = 0.563 ms is _________ mV. I have no clue on the steps to solve such a problem help would be greatly appreciated
Calculate the emfx of a dry cell for which a potentiometer is balanced when Rx = 1.200 Ω , while an alkaline standard cell with an emf of 1.600 V requires Rs = 1.247 Ω to balance the potentiometer.
