For the purpose of measuring the electric resistance of shoes through the body of the wearer standing on a metal ground plate, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) specifies the circuit shown in Figure P27.14. The potential difference V across the 1.00-M resistor is measured with an ideal voltmeter. (a) Show that the resistance of the footwear is Rshoes=50.0VVV (b) In a medical test, a current through the human body should not exceed 150 A. Can the current delivered by the ANSI-specified circuit exceed 150 A? To decide, consider a person standing barefoot on the ground plate. Figure P27.14
(a) Digital medical thermometers determine temperature by measuring the resistance of a semiconductor device called a thermistor (which has a= - 0.0600/°C ) when it is at the same temperature as the patient. What is a patient's temperature if the thermistor’s resistance at that temperature is 82.0% of its value at 37.0°C (normal body temperature)? (b) The negative value for a may not be maintained for very low temperatures. Discuss why and whether this is the case here. (Hint: Resistance can’t become negative.)
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.
Currents of approximately 0.06 A can be potentially fatal. Currents in that range can make the heart fibrillate (beat in an uncontrolled manner). The resistance of a dry human body can be approximately 100 k . (a) What voltage can cause 0.06 A through a dry human body? (b) When a human body is wet, the resistance can fall to 100 . What voltage can cause harm to a wet body?
Ralph has three resistors, R1, R2, and R3, connected in series. When connected to an ideal emf source E1, current I1 flows through the resistors. a. If the resistors are instead connected to a second source with E2=2E1, what is the new current through the resistors in terms of the first current? b. Show that, if each resistance is doubled and the resistors are connected in series to the second emf source, the current through the resistors is equal to I1.
Digital medical thermometers determine temperature by measuring the resistance of a semiconductor device called a thermistor (which has a=0.06/C ) when it isat the same temperature as the patient. What is a patient’s temperature if the thermistor’s resistance at that temperature is 82.0% of its value at 37C (normal bodytemperature)?
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.
Unreasonable Results (a) To what temperature must you raise a resistor made of constantan to double its resistance, assuming a constant temperature coefficient of resistivity? (b) To cut it in half? (c) What is unreasonable about these results? (d) Which assumptions are unreasonable, or which premises are inconsistent?
Construe! Your Own Problem Consider a rechargeable lithium cell that is to be used to power a camcorder. Construct a problem in which you calculate the internal resistance of the cell during normal operation. Also, calculate the minimum voltage output of a battery charger to be used to recharge your lithium cell. Among the things to be considered are the emf and useful terminal voltage of a lithium cell and the current it should be able to supply to a camcorder.
Jenny bought a resistor made up of unknown material with color bands (red-green-black-brown-silver) to be used in her school project. She used a multimeter to measure the resistance of the resistor and she found out that the resulting value is exactly the upper limit of the value of the resistance. The length of the resistor is 5cm and the radius of the cross-sectional area is 1.7011mmm. (Assume that the shape of the resistor is perfectly cylindrical).A. Find the resistance value (upper limit). B. Find the resistivity of the resistor. C. What type of material is the resistor made of?Provide a Free Body diagram and answer in GRESA format.

The nichrome heating element in an electric drier operates on 240 V and generates heat at the rate of 2.0 kW. The heating element shorts out and, in repairing it, the repairman shortens the nichrome wire by 10%. (Assume the temperature is unchanged. In reality, the resistivity of the wire will depend on its temperature.) What effect will the repair have on the power dissipated in the heating element?
