Resistors are commonly rated at 18W,14W,12W ,1 W and 2 W for use in electrical circuits. If a current of1 = 2.00 A is accidentally passed through a R=1.00 resistor rated at 1 W, what would be the most probable outcome? Is there anything that can be done to prevent such an accident?
Power P0 = I0 V0 is delivered to a resistor of resistance R0. If the resistance is doubled (Rnew = 2R0) while the voltage is adjusted such that the current is constant, what are the ratios (a) Pnew/P0 and (b) Vnew/V0?

The student engineer of a campus radio station wishes to verify the effectiveness of the lightning rod on the antenna mast (Fig. P21.71). 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 be Rx 2.00 . Is the grounding of the station adequate if measurements give R1 = 13.0 and R2 = 6.00 ? Explain. Figure P21.71
