The IR drop across a resistor means that there is a change in potential or voltage across the resistor. Is there any change in current as it passes through a resistor? Explain.
The power dissipated in a resistor is given by P = V2/R, which means power decreases if resistance increases. Yet this power is also given by P = I2R, which means power increases if resistance increases. Explain why there is no contradiction here.

A student claims that the second of two lightbulbs in series is less bright than the first because the first lightbulb uses up some of the current. How would you respond to this statement?
A young man owns a canister vacuum cleaner marked 535 W [at] 120 V and a Volkswagen Beetle, which he wishes to clean. He parks the car in his apartment parking lot and uses an inexpensive extension cord 15.0 m long to plug in the vacuum cleaner. You may assume the cleaner has constant resistance, (a) If the resistance of each of the two conductors in the extension cord is 0.900 , what is the actual power delivered to the cleaner? (b) If instead the power is to be at least 525 W, what must be the diameter of each of two identical copper conductors in the cord he buys? (c) Repeat part (b) assuming the power is to be at least 532 W.
Foolishly trying to fish a burning piece of bread from a toaster with a metal butter knife, a man conies into contact with 120-V AC. He does not even feel it since, luckily, he is wearing rubber-soled shoes. What is the minimum resistance of the path the current follows through the person?
Why is the following situation impossible? A technician is testing a circuit that contains a resistance R. He realizes that a better design for the circuit would include a resistance 73R rather than R. He has three additional resistors, each with resistance R. By combining these additional resistors in a certain combination that is then placed in series with the original resistor, he achieves the desired resistance.
