Get started for freeIt seems hard to justify spending for a compact fluorescent lightbulb when an ordinary incandescent bulb costs . To see if this makes sense, compare a incandescent bulb lasting hours to a compact fluorescent bulb having a lifetime of hours. Both bulbs produce the same amount of visible light and are interchangeable. If electricity costs , what is the total cost—purchase plus energy— to obtain hours of light from each type of bulb? This is called the life-cycle cost.
A lightbulb and a lightbulb are placed in the circuit shown in FIGURE . Both bulbs are glowing.
a. Which bulb is brighter? Or are they equally bright?
b. Calculate the power dissipated by each bulb.
The voltage across the terminals of a battery is when the battery is connected to a load. What is the battery’s internal resistance?
The ammeter in FIGURE P28.52 reads. Find and
A refrigerator has a compressor, but the compressor runs only of the time.
a. If electricity costs, what is the monthly (30 day) cost of running the refrigerator?
b. A more energy-efficient refrigerator with an compressor costs more. If you buy the more expensive refrigerator, how many months will it take to recover your additional cost?
