(d) Discuss how the acceleration you found for the light-rail train compares to what might be typical for an automobile.
You have a faculty position at a community college and are teaching a class in automotive technology. You are deep in a discussion of using jumper cables to start a car with a dead battery from a car with a fresh battery. You have drawn the circuit diagram in Figure P27.16 to explain the process. The battery on the left is the live battery in the correctly functioning car, with emf and internal resistance RL, where the L subscript refers to live. Its terminals are connected directly across those of the dead battery, in the middle of the diagram, with emf and internal resistance RD, where the D subscript refers to dead. Then, the starter in the car with the dead battery is activated by closing the ignition switch, allowing the car to start. The resistance of the starter is RS. A student raises his hand and asks, So is the dead battery being charged while the starter is operating? How do you respond? Figure P27.16
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?
Loud thunder claps frequently accompany lightning discharges. Give a description of how scientists believe thunder is produced during a lightning storm.
Integrated Concepts (a) What is the average power output of a heart defibrillator that dissipates 400 J of energy in 10.0 ms? (b) Considering the high-power output, why doesn’t the defibrillator produce serious burns?
A clock battery wears out after moving 10,000 C of charge through the clock at a rate of 0.500 mA. (a) How long did the clock run? (b) How many electrons per second flowed?
Find the currants flowing in the circuit in the preceding problem. Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy: Series and Parallel Resistors.
SPEAR, a storage ring about 72.0 m in diameter at the Stanford Linear Accelerator (closed in 2009), has a 20.0-A circulating beam of electrons that are moving at nearly the speed of light. (See Figure 20.39.) How many electrons are in the beam? Figure 20.39 Electrons circulating in the storage ring called SPEAR constitute a 20.0-A current. Because they travel close to the speed of light, each electron completes many orbits in each second.
Body injury from electricity depends on the magnitude of the current and its path (see the 8.2 Highlight: Electrical Effects on Humans, section 8.3). However, signs warning Danger. High Voltage are commonly seen ( Fig. 8.35). Shouldnt the signs refer to high current? Explain. Figure 8.35 High Voltage or High Current?
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!)
(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) . Six resistors, all having the same temperatures and compositions, are each attached to a battery with voltage V to form a simple circuit. The resistors have different lengths, l, but the same diameters. Rank the circuits according to the current that flows through the resistor from smallest to greatest. If two (or more) circuits have the same current flowing, give them the same ranking. Explain the rationale you used to establish your rankings. Circuit 1: l = 2 cm; V = 3 V Circuit 2: l = 2 cm; V = 6 V Circuit 3: l = 1 cm; V = 3 V Circuit 4: l = 1 cm; V = 6 V Circuit 5: l = 3cm; V = 2 V Circuit 6: l = 3cm; V = 6 V

Find its resistance, assuming it is constant during the process. (b) A lower resistance would shorten the heating time. Discuss the practical limits to speeding the heating by lowering the resistance.
