A student in a physics lab mistakenly wired a light bulb, battery, and switch as shown in Figure 21.44. Explain why the bulb is on when the switch is open, and off when the switch is closed. (Do not try this-it is hard on the battery!)
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?
Some strings of holiday lights are wired in series to save wiring costs. An old version utilized bulbs that break the electrical connection, like an open switch, when they burn out. If one such bulb burns out, what happens to the others? If such a string operates on 120 V and has 40 identical bulbs, what is the normal operating voltage of each? Newer versions use bulbs that short circuit, like a closed switch, when they burn out. If one such bulb burns out, what happens to the others? If such a string operates on 120 V and has 39 remaining identical bulbs, what is then the operating voltage of each?
Consider the circuit shown below. The terminal voltage of the battery is V = 18.00 V.

You have been called in as an expert witness in a civil case. The case involves a dispute between neighbors. The plaintiff neighbor is complaining about a buzzing noise during the night that prevents the plaintiff from sleeping. He claims that the buzzing is coming from a light fixture on the defendants porch ceiling. The defendant likes to do installations and repairs himself and has done a sloppy job of installing the light fixture. The fixture hangs vertically from a single wire that is attached through the porch ceiling and down the wall to one connector in a nearby electrical outlet. The second wire is hung horizontally with strings at the level of the light and then runs down the wall to the other connector in the outlet. The defendant leaves the light on all night long for security. Recalling his high school physics, the plaintiff states that the combination of the 60-Hz household voltage and the magnetic field of the Earth results in an oscillating driving force on the single wire from which the light fixture hangs vertically. This, in turn, sets up a standing wave in the wire, and that is the cause of the buzz. You have been hired by the defense attorney. Upon hearing the details of the case, you obtain permission from the defendant and make measurements. The mass of the light fixture is 17.5 kg. The vertical wire from which it hangs is 0.150 m long and has a mass of 0.030 kg. Is the plaintiff correct that the magnetic field of the Earth is causing the buzzing of the wire? Ignore any effect of the second wire.
A 0.0200- ammeter is placed in series with a 10.00- resistor in a circuit, (a) Draw a circuit diagram of the connection, (b) Calculate the resistance of the combination, (c) If the voltage is kept the same across the combination as it was through the 10.00- resistor alone, what is the percent decrease in current? (d) If the current is kept the same through the combination as it was through the 10.00-resistor alone, what is the percent increase in voltage? (e) Are the changes found in parts (c) and (d) significant? Discuss.

TRUE or FALSE: The amount of energy stored in a battery is equal to the energy produced when a bulb lights up.
If the battery in (Figure 1) were ideal, lightbulb A would not dim when the switch is closed. However, real batteries have a small internal resistance, which we can model as the 0.3 Ω resistor shown inside the battery. In this case, the brightness of bulb A changes when the switch is closed. Assume E = 1.9 V. How much power does bulb A dissipate when the switch is closed?
