Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 86GP
CE Predict/Explain (a) When the switch is closed in the circuit shown in Figure 21-57, does the total power dissipated in the circuit increase, decrease, or stay the same? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:
- I. Closing the switch adds one more resistor to the circuit. This makes it harder for the battery to supply current, which decreases the power dissipated.
- II. The equivalent resistance of the circuit is reduced by closing the switch, but the voltage remains the same. Therefore, from P = V2/R we see that the power dissipated increases.
- III. The power dissipated remains the same because power, P = IV, is independent of resistance.

Why must the bleeder resistance be much greater than the effective resistance of the rest of the circuit? How does this affect the time constant for discharging the capacitor?arrow_forward

When current runs through the coil, the pointer turns; die amount the pointer turns is proportional to the amount of current running through the coil. Galvanometers can be used to make an ammeter if a resistor is placed in parallel with the galvanometer. Consider a galvanometer that has a resistance of 25.00and gives a full scale reading when a 50A current runs through it. The galvanometer is to be used to make an ammeter that has a full scale reading of 10.00 A, as shown below. Recall that an ammeter is connected in series with the circuit of interest, so all 10 A must tun through the meter, (a) What is the current through the parallel resistor in the meter? (b) What is the voltage across the parallel resistor? (c) What is the resistance of the parallel resistor?arrow_forward
