Get started for freeA 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.
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?
