Get started for freeThe 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?
Lightning Strikes. During lightning strikes from a cloud to the
ground, currents as high as 25,000 A can occur and last for about 40 ms.
How much charge is transferred from the cloud to the earth during such a
strike?
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?
The battery for a certain cell phone is rated at.According to the manufacturer it can produceof electrical energy, enough for of operation, before needing to be recharged. Find the average current that this cell phone draws when turned on.
