Get started for freeIn the circuit shown in Fig. E26.18,(a) What is the potential difference Vab between points a and b when the switch S is open and when S is closed? (b) For each resistor, calculate the current through the resistor with S open and with S closed. For each resistor, does the current increase or decrease when S is closed?
A cylindrical rod has resistance . If we triple its length and diameter, what is its resistance in terms of R
(See Discussion Question Q25.14.) An ideal ammeter A is placed in a circuit with a battery and a light bulb as shown in Fig. Q25.15a, and the ammeter reading is noted. The circuit is then reconnected as in Fig. Q25.15b, so that the positions of the ammeter and light bulb are reversed. (a) How does the ammeter reading in the situation shown in Fig. Q25.15a compare to the reading in the situation shown in Fig. Q25.15b? Explain your reasoning. (b) In which situation does the light bulb glow more brightly? Explain your reasoning.
The circuit shown in Fig. E25.33 contains two batteries, each with an emf and an internal resistance, and two resistors. Find (a) the current in the circuit (magnitude and direction) and (b) the terminal voltage Vabof the 16.0-V battery.

If a “75-W” bulb (see Problem 25.35) is connected across a 220-V potential difference (as is used in Europe), how much power does it dissipate? Ignore the temperature dependence of the bulb’s resistance.
