Concept explainers

Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional…

Path of Least Resistance

In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.

In the circuit shown in Figure 10.71. R it a variable resister whose value can range from 0 to ^ea. and a and b are the terminals of a battery having an emf ε = 15.C V and an internal res stance of 4.00 Ω. The ammeter are voltmeter are both ideal zed meters. As R varies ever ts full range of values what will be the largest and smallest readings of (a) the voltmeter and (b) the ammeter? (c) Sketch qualitat ve graphs of the readings of both meters as functions of R as R ranges from 0 to ^oe.

A certain flashlight is connected to a 6.0-Vemf battery and has an internal resistance of 0.100. What power does the 0.500 M load dissipate? If the internal resistance grows to 0.400 2, what is the new current, terminal voltage, and power dissipated by a 0.500 M load resistance?

A person with a body resistance of 10 kΩkΩ between his hands accidentally grasps the terminals of a 14.0 kVkV power supply. If the power supply is to be made safe by increasing its internal resistance, what should the internal resistance be for the maximum current in the situation just described to be 1.25 mAmA or less?

What is the maximum voltage that can be applied across a 3.1-kΩ resistor rated at 1/4 watt? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. V=
