Concept explainers

Ohm's law

Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.

Path of Least Resistance

In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.

A large household air conditioner may consume 15.0 kW of power. What is the cost of operating this air conditioner 3.00 h per day for 30.0 d if the cost of electricity is $0.110 per kW h?
You are working in the distribution center of a large online shopping site. Efforts are being made to increase the number of packages per unit time that are being loaded onto a conveyor belt to be carried to waiting trucks. But the motor driving the conveyor belt is having difficulty keeping up with the increased demands. Your supervisor has asked you to determine the requirements for a new motor that can provide enough power to keep the conveyor belt moving smoothly under the increased loading rate. You are given the following information: The design goal is to have 50.0-kg packages loaded onto the belt at several locations at an average rate of 5.00 packages per second. The bell moves at a horizontal speed of 1.35 m/s. Humans at the various locations along the belt place the package on the belt so that it is initially at rest relative to the floor of the building just before being dropped from negligible height onto the belt. Your task is to determine the minimum power the driving motor must have to accelerate these packages and keep the bell moving at constant speed.
A person in good physical condition can put out 100 W of useful power for several hours at a stretch, perhaps by pedaling a mechanism that drives an electric generator. Neglecting any problems of generator efficiency and practical considerations such as resting time: (a) How many people would it take to run a 4.00-kW electric clothes dryer? (b) How many people would it take to replace a large electric power plant that generates 800 MW?
