An electronic device designed to operate at any temperature in the range from 10.0C to 55.0C contains pure carbon resistors. By what factor does their resistance increase over this range?
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?
Two 3.8microF capacitors, two 2.2kohms resistors and a 16.0V source are connected in series. Starting from the uncharged state, how long does it take for the current to drop from its initial value to 1.50 mA
As part of a lecture demonstration, a physics professor plans to hold an uninsulated current-carrying wire in her hands. For safety's sake, the potential difference between her hands is to be no more than 3 V. She holds her hands 1.3 m apart, with the wire stretched tightly between them. The wire is to carry 5.00 A of current and is to be made of aluminum. What is the minimum wire radius in millimeters that is consistent with safety? Let the resistivity of aluminum be 2.75x10^-8Ω⋅m.
How many different resistance valuescan be created by combining three unequal resistors? (Don’t count possibilities in which not allthe resistors are used, i.e., ones in which there iszero current in one or more of them.)
An electric toaster uses nichrome for its heating element. When a negligibly small current passes through it, its resistance at room temperature (27.0 °C) is found to be 75.3 Ω. When the toaster is connected to a 230 V supply, the current settles, after a few seconds, to a steady value of 2.68 A. What is the steady temperature of the nichrome element? The temperature coefficient of resistance of nichrome averaged over the temperature range involved, is 1.70 × 10-4 °C-1.

We have referred to resistorsdissipat-ingheat, i.e., we have assumed thatP=I∆V is always greater than zero. Could I∆V come out to be negative for a resistor? If so, couldone make a refrigerator by hooking up a resistorin such a way that it absorbed heat instead ofdissipating it?
