Check Your Understanding When using Kirchhoff’s laws, you need to decide which loops to use and the direction of current flow through each loop. In analyzing the circuit in Example 10.7, the direction of current flow was chosen to be clockwise, from point a to point b. How would the results change if the direction of the current was chosen to be counterclockwise, from point b to point a?
A short circuit in a 120-V appliance cord has a0.500- resistance. Calculate the temperature rise of the2.00 g of surrounding materials, assuming their specific heat capacity is 0.200cal/gC and that it takes 0.0500 sfor a circuit breaker to interrupt the current. Is this likely to be damaging?

Integrated Concepts Derive an expression for the current in a system like that in Figure 23.11, under the following conditions. The resistance between the rails is R, the rails and the moving red are identical in cross section A and have the same resistivity . The distance between the rails is l, and the rod moves at constant speed v perpendicular to the uniform field B. At time zero, the moving red is next to the resistance R.
Check Your Understanding Circuit breakers in a home are rated in amperes, normally in a range from 10 amps to 30 amps, and are used to protect the residents from harm and their appliances from damage due to large currents. A single 15-amp circuit breaker may be used to protect several outlets in the living room, whereas a single 20-amp circuit breaker may be used to protect the refrigerator in the kitchen. What can you deduce from this about current used by the various appliances?

A circuit you’re building needs an ammeter that goes from 0 mA to a full-scale reading of 50.0 mA. Unfortunately, the only ammeter in the storeroom goes from 0 μA to a full-scale reading of only 500 μA. Fortunately, you can make this ammeter work by putting it in a measuring circuit, as shown. This lets a certain fraction of the current pass throughthe meter; knowing this value, you can deduce the total current.Assume that the ammeter is ideal.a. What value of R must you use so that the meter will go to full scale when the current I is 50.0 mA?Hint: When I = 50.0 mA, the ammeter should be reading its maximum value.b. What is the equivalent resistance of your measuring circuit?
