Get started for freeA light bulb glows because it has resistance. The brightness of a light bulb increases with the electrical power dissipated in the bulb. (a) In the circuit shown in Fig. Q25.14a, the two bulbs A and B are identical. Compared to bulb A, does bulb B glow more brightly, just as brightly, or less brightly? Explain your reasoning. (b) Bulb B is removed from the circuit and the circuit is completed as shown in Fig. Q25.14b. Compared to the brightness of bulb A in Fig. Q25.14a, does bulb A now glow more brightly, just as brightly, or less brightly? Explain your reasoning
Electric eels generate electric pulses along their skin that can be used to stun an enemy when they come into contact with it. Tests have shown that these pulses can be up to and produce currents of (or even larger). A typical pulse lasts for . What power and how much energy are delivered to the unfortunate enemy with a single pulse, assuming a steady current?
The text states that good thermal conductors are also good electrical conductors. If so, why don’t the cords used to connect toasters, irons, and similar heat-producing appliances get hot by conduction of heat from the heating element?
An open plastic soda bottle with an opening diameter of is placed on a table. A uniform magnetic field directed upward and oriented from the vertical encompasses the bottle. What is the total magnetic flux through the plastic of the soda bottle?
You want to produce three 1.00-mm-diameter cylindrical wires,
each with a resistance of 1.00 Ω at room temperature. One wire is gold, one
is copper, and one is aluminum. Refer to Table 25.1 for the resistivity
values. (a) What will be the length of each wire? (b) Gold has a density of.
What will be the mass of the gold wire? If you consider the current price of gold, is
this wire very expensive?
