Get started for freeAbulb is connected across the terminals of abattery havingof internal resistance. What percentage of the power of the battery is dissipated across the internal resistance and hence is not available to the bulb?
A cylindrical rod of diameter is connected to
a power supply that maintains a constant potential difference of across
its ends, while an ammeter measures the current through it. You observe that
at room temperature the ammeter reads while at it
reads . You can ignore any thermal expansion of the rod. Find (a) the
resistivity at and (b) the temperature coefficient of resistivity at for the material of the rod.
BIO The average bulk resistivity of the human body (apart from surface resistance of the skin) is about . The conducting path between the hands can be represented approximately as a cylinder 1.6 m long and 0.10 m in diameter. The skin resistance can be made negligible bysoaking the hands in salt water. (a) What is the resistance between the hands if the skin resistance is negligible? (b) What potential difference between thehands is needed for a lethal shock current of 100 mA ? (Note that your result shows that small potential differences produce dangerous currents when the skin is damp.) (c) With the current in part (b),what power is dissipated in the body?
A 140-g ball containing excess electrons is dropped into a 110-m vertical shaft. At the bottom of the shaft, the ball suddenly enters a uniform horizontal magnetic field that has magnitude 0.300 T and direction from east to west. If air resistance is negligibly small, find the magnitude ond direction of the force that this magnetic field exerts on the ball just as it enters the field.
A beam of protons traveling at 1.20 km/s enters a uniform magnetic field, traveling perpendicular to the field. The beam exits the magnetic field, leaving the field in a direction pependicurlar to its original direction (Fig. E27.24). The beam travels a distance of 1.10 cm while in the field. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?
