The student engineer of a campus radio station wishes to verify the effectiveness of the lightning rod on the antenna mast (Fig. P27.49). The unknown resistance Rx is between points C and E. Point E is a true ground, but it is inaccessible for direct measurement because this stratum is several meters below the Earths surface. Two identical rods are driven into the ground at A and B, introducing an unknown resistance Ry. The procedure is as follows. Measure resistance R1 between points A and B, then connect A and B with a heavy conducting wire and measure resistance R2 between points A and C. (a) Derive an equation for Rx in terms of the observable resistances, R1, and R2. (b) A satisfactory ground resistance would Rx 2.00 . Is the grounding of the station adequate if measurements give R1 = 13.0 and R2 = 6.00 ? Explain. Figure P27.49

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.)

An electronic apparatus may have large capacitors at high voltage in the power supply section, presenting a shock hazard even when the apparatus is switched off. A “bleeder resistor" is therefore placed across such a capacitor, as shown schematically in Figure 21.50, to bleed the charge from it after the apparatus is off. Why must the bleeder resistance be much greater than the effective resistance of the rest of the circuit? How does this affect the time constant for discharging the capacitor?
(a) When the switch S in the circuit of Figure P28.14 is closed, will the equivalent resistance between points a and b increase or decrease? State your reasoning. (b) Assume the equivalent resistance drops by 50.0% when the switch is closed. Determine the value of R.
