Chapter 25, Problem 42P
(II) An ordinary flashlight uses two D-cell 1.5-V batteries connected in series as in Fig. 25-4b (Fig. 25-37). The bulb draws 380 mA when turned on. (a) Calculate the resistance of the bulb and the power dissipated. (b) By what factor would the power increase if four D-cells in series were used with the same bulb? (Neglect heating effects of the filament.) Why shouldn’t you try this?
