In this chapter, most examples and problems involved direct current (DC). DC circuits have the current flowing in one direction, from positive to negative. When the current was changing, it was changed linearly from I=ImaxtoI=+Imax and the voltage changed linearly from V=Vmax to V=+Vmax where Vmax=ImaxR .Suppose a voltage source is placed in series with a resistor of R = 10 that supplied a current that alternated as a sine wave, for example, I(t)=(3.00A)sin(24.00st) . (a) What would a graph of the voltage drop across the resistor V(t) versus time look like? (b) What would a plot of V(t) versus I(t) for one period look like? (Hint: If you are not sure, try plotting V(t) versus I(t) using a spreadsheet.)
Consider the circuit below, (a) What is the initial current through resistor R2? when the switch is closed? (b) What is die current through resistor R2 when the capacitor is fully charged, long after die switch is closed? (c) What happens if the switch is opened after it has been closed for some rime? (d) If the switch has been closed for a time period long enough for the capacitor to become fully charged, and then the switch is opened, how long before the current through resistor R1 reaches half of its initial value?
Consider the circuit shown in the preceding problem. Write equations for the power supplied by the voltage sources and the power dissipated by the resistors in terms
Integrated Concepts If you wish to take a picture of a bullet traveling at 500 m/s, then a very brief flash of light produced by an RC discharge through a flash tube can limit blurring. Assuming 1.00 mm of motion during one RC constant is acceptable, and given that the flash is driven by a 600F capacitor, what is the resistance in the flash tube?
Integrated Concepts A flashing lamp in a Christmas earring is based on an RC discharge of a capacitor through its resistance. The effective duration of the flash is 0.250 s, during which it produces in average 0.500 W from an average 3.00 V. (a) What energy does it dissipate? (b) How much charge moves through the lamp? (c) Find the capacitance. (d) What is the resistance of the lamp?
The [R 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.
When making an ECG measurement, it is important to measure voltage variations over small time intervals. The time is limited by the RC constant of the circuit-it is not possible to measure time variations shorter than RC. How would you manipulate R and C in the circuit to allow the necessary measurements?
Two different electrical devices have the same power consumption, but one is meant to be operated on 12G-V AC and the other on 240-V AC. (a) What is the ratio of their resistances? (b) What is the ratio of their currents? (c) Assuming its resistance is unaffected, by what factor will the power increase if a 120-V AC device is connected to 240-V AC?
A 50resistor is connected across the emf v(t)=(160V)sin(120t) . Write an expression for the current throug1 the resistor.
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?
Common household appliances are rated at 110 V, but power companies deliver voltage in the kilovolt range and then step the voltage down using transformers to 110 V to be used in homes. You will learn in later chapters that transformers consist of many turns of wire, which warm up as current flows through them, wasting some of the energy that is given off as heat. This sounds inefficient. Why do the power companies transport electric power using this method?
A 500- resistor, an uncharged 1.50-F capacitor and a 6.16-V emf are connected in series, (a) What is the initial current? (b) What is the RC time constant? (c) What is the current after one time constant? (d) What is the voltage on the capacitor after one time constant?
