Two metallic terminals protrude from a device. The terminal on the left is the positive reference for a voltage called v. (the other terminal is the negative reference). The terminal on the right is the positive reference for a voltage called vy (the other terminal being the negative reference). If it takes 1 mJ of energy to push a single electron (Q = 1.602 x 10-19 C) into the left terminal and out of the right terminal, determine the voltages vx and vy.

You are a journeyman electrician working in an industrial plant. Your task is to connect an inductor to a 480-V, 60-Hz line. To determine the proper conductor and fuse size for this installation, you need to know the amount of current the inductor will draw from the line. The nameplate on the inductor indicates that it has an inductance of 0.1 H. An ohmmeter reveals that it has a wire resistance of 10 . How much current should this inductor draw when connected to the line?

An electrical circuit is arranged as in the picture next to it. The difference in battery potential is known to be 1.2 kV, the capacitor is 6.5 uF and all the resistance is 0.73 MOhm A) If the switch is closed at t = 0, calculate the current in R1! B) If the switch is closed at t = 0, calculate the current in R2! C) When the switch is closed at t = 0, calculate the current at R3! D) After the switch is closed long enough, then the switch is reopened, draw a graph of the relationship between the energy stored on the capacitor as a function of time!
About 20% of a home’s use of energy goes to lighting, while the number for commercial establishments is closer to 40%. Fluorescent lights are about four times more efficient than incandescent lights—this is true for both the long tubes and the compact fluorescent lights (CFL). Thus, a 60-W incandescent bulb can be replaced by a 15-W CFL, which has the same brightness and color. The heat transfer from these CFLs is less, and they last up to 10 times longer. New white LED lights (which are clusters of small LED bulbs) are even more efficient (twice that of CFLs) and last 5 times longer than CFLs. However, their cost is still high. If the cost of electricity in your area is P10 per kWh, what is the total cost (capital plus operation) of using a 60-W incandescent bulb for 1000 hours (the lifetime of that bulb) if the bulb cost P100? If we replace this bulb with a compact fluorescent light that provides the same light output, but at 1/4 the wattage, and which costs P20 but lasts 10 times…
