As shown in Fig.28-2(a), a battery (internal resistance 1 ohm) is connected in series with two resistors. Compute (a) the current in the circuit, (b) the p.d. across each resistor, and (c) the terminal p.d. of the battery.
Person with body resistance between his hands of 10.0 kΩ accidentally grasps the terminals of a 20.0-kV power supply. (Do NOT do this!)
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 this situation to be 1.00 mA or less?
You need a 45 W resistor, but the stockroom has only 20 W and 50 W How can the desired resistance be achieved under these circumstances?
