- An uncharged series RC circuit is to be connected across a battery. For each of the following changes, determine whether the time for the capacitor to reach 90% of its final charge would increase, decrease, or remain unchanged. Indicate your answers with I, D, or U, respectively. (a) The RC time constant is doubled. (b) The battery voltage is doubled.

(e) Find the total amount of energy transformed into internal energy in the resistors.arrow_forwardWhy is the following situation impossible? A technician is testing a circuit that contains a resistance R. He realizes that a better design for the circuit would include a resistance 73R rather than R. He has three additional resistors, each with resistance R. By combining these additional resistors in a certain combination that is then placed in series with the original resistor, he achieves the desired resistance.arrow_forward
- You are working at an electronics fabrication shop. Your current project is on the team producing resistors for the timer circuit that delays the closing of an elevator door. According to its design specification, the timer circuit is to have a resistance of 32.0 between two points A and B. As your resistors come off the assembly line, you find that they have a variation of 5.00% from this value. After a team meeting to evaluate this situation, the team decides that resistances in the range 32.0 0.5 are acceptable and do not need modification. For resistances outside this range, the director does not wish to discard the resistors, but rather to add extra resistors in series or parallel with the main resistor to bring the total equivalent resistance to the exact design value of 32.0 . You are put in charge of procuring the extra resistors. What range of resistances for these extra resistors do you need to cover the entire range of variation of 5.00%? All resistances can be measured to three significant figures.arrow_forwardThree 100- resistors are connected as shown in Figure P21.41 The maximum power that can safely be delivered to any one resistor is 25.0 W. (a) What is the maximum potential difference that can be applied to the terminals a and b? (b) For the voltage determined in part (a), what is the power delivered to each resistor? (c) What is the total power delivered to the combination of resistors?arrow_forwardConsider the combination of resistors shown in Figure P18.8. (a) Find the equivalent resistance between point a and b. (b) If a voltage of 35.0 V is applied between points a and b, find the current in each resistor. Figure P18.8arrow_forward
- Construe! Your Own Problem Consider a rechargeable lithium cell that is to be used to power a camcorder. Construct a problem in which you calculate the internal resistance of the cell during normal operation. Also, calculate the minimum voltage output of a battery charger to be used to recharge your lithium cell. Among the things to be considered are the emf and useful terminal voltage of a lithium cell and the current it should be able to supply to a camcorder.arrow_forwardA battery with an internal resistance of 10.0 produces an open circuit voltage of 12.0 V. A variable load resistance with a range from 0 to 30.0 is connected across the battery. (Note: A battery has a resistance that depends on the condition of its chemicals and that increases as the battery ages. This internal resistance can be represented in a simple circuit diagram as a resistor in series with the battery.) (a) Graph the power dissipated in the load resistor as a function of the load resistance. (b) With your graph, demonstrate the following important theorem: The power delivered to a load is a maximum if the load resistance equals the internal resistance of the source.arrow_forwardConsider the circuit shown in Figure P18.11. Find (a) the potential difference between points a and b and (b) the current in the 20.0- resistor. Figure P18.11arrow_forward
- The terminals of a battery are connected across two resistors in series. The resistances of the resistors are not the same. Which of the following statements are correct? Choose all that are correct. (a) The resistor with the smaller resistance carries more current than the other resistor. (b) The resistor with the larger resistance carries less current than the other resistor. (c) The current in each resistor is the same. (d) The potential difference across each resistor is the same. (e) The potential difference is greatest across the resistor closest to the positive terminal.arrow_forwardConsider the circuit shown in Figure P18.10. (a) Calculate the equivalent resistance of the 10.0- and 5.00- resistors connected in parallel. (b) Using the result of part (a), calculate the combined resistance of the 10.0-, 5.00-, and 4.00- resistors.

(b) The defibrillator paddles make contact with the patient through a conducting gel that greatly reduces the path resistance. Discuss the difficulties that would ensue if a larger voltage were used to produce the same current through the patient, but with the path having perhaps 50 times the resistance.
