Figure P22.29 shows the current-versus-potential-difference graph for a resistor.

Figure P22.29

Chapter 22, Problem 29P, Figure P22.29 shows the current-versus-potential-difference graph for a resistor. Figure P22.29 a.

a. What is the resistance of this resistor?

b. Suppose the length of the resistor is doubled while keeping its cross section the same. (This requires doubling the amount of material the resistor is made of.) Copy the figure and add to it the current-versus-potential-difference graph for the longer resistor.

A 13.5-microF capacitor is charged to 90.0 V, then discharged through a 95.0 ohm resistor. After discharge begins, what amount of time t1 will pass before the capacitor has lost 90.0% of its initial charge? t1= After discharge begins, what amount of time t2 will pass before the capacitor has lost 90.0% of its initial energy? t2= What is the magnitude of the current i1 through the resistor when the capacitor has lost 90.0% of its initial charge? i1= What is the magnitude of the current i2 through the resistor when the capacitor has lost 90.0% of its initial energy? i2=

a) The resistance between two well-separated points on the human body is about1.5 x 10. If a potential difference of 120 V is applied across these points, how much current is generated? (b) If the skin is wet, the resistance drops to 5.0 x 10. What will the current be in this case for an applied potential difference of 120 V? blank2 - Numeric Answer

A) A lab technician is studying the effect of temperature on the resistance of a current carrying wire. She applies a voltage to a silver wire at a temperature of 62.0°C and notes that it produces a current of 1.50 A. If she then applies the same voltage to the same wire at −88.0°C, what current should she expect (in A)? The temperature coefficient of resistivity for silver is 3.80 ✕ 10−3 (°C)−1. (Assume that the reference temperature is 20°C.) A B) A certain lightbulb has a tungsten filament with a resistance of 22.2 Ω when at 20.0°C and 145 Ω when hot. Assume the resistivity of tungsten varies linearly with temperature even over the large temperature range involved here. Find the temperature of the hot filament. °C
