Chapter 28: Q. 8 (page 789)
A battery with internal resistance r is connected to a load resistance R. If R is increased, does the terminal voltage of the battery increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.
The battery's terminal voltage will rise as the load resistance rises.

It 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.
The 10 Ω resistor in FIGURE EX28.29 is dissipating of power. How much power are the other two resistors dissipating?
Initially bulbs A and B in FIGURE Q28.9 are glowing. What happens to each bulb if the switch is closed? Does it get brighter, stay the same, get dimmer, or go out? Explain.
