In cars, one battery terminal is connected to the metal body. How does this allow a single wire to supply current to electrical devices rather than two wires?
Consider the circuit shown below, (a) Find the current through each resistor, (b) Check the calculations by analyzing the power in the circuit.
Combine Ohm’s law and the equation for power consumption to derive the equation that gives the power in terms of current and resistance. Use the result to answer the following question. A cable carrying electrical energy wastes 10 kWh of energy each day because of ohmic heating. If the current in the cable is doubled but the cable’s resistance remains the same, how much energy will it waste each day?
