Bill is working on an electrical circuit problem. He remembers from his electrical engineering class that voltage drop ΔE is a function of electrical current I and electrical resistance R. Unfortunately, he does not recall the exact form of the equation for ΔE. However, he is taking a fluid mechanics class and decides to use his newly acquired knowledge about dimensional analysis to recall the form of the equation. Help Bill develop the equation for ΔE using the method of repeating variables, showing all of your work. Compare this to Ohm’s law—does dimensional analysis give you the correct form of the equation

Consider the circuit configurations below, where two lightbulbs are connected to a single battery in different ways. Based on what you learned about parallel and series connections in lab, which of these two configurations would result in the light bulbs being the brightest? Fully explain your reasoning. Imagine that you are given four 100Ω resistors to build a circuit. Your challenge is to use all four of the resistors in the circuit, but the circuit must have an overall equivalent resistance of 100Ω. Is this possible? If so, draw a diagram of the circuit and explain how the connections result in a 100Ω equivalent resistance. If this is not possible, draw a diagram of a circuit involving all four resistors that has an equivalent resistance as close to 100Ω as is possible.
