Is polarization a property of all electromagnetic waves, or is it unique to visible light? Can sound waves be polarized? What fundamental distinction in wave properties is involved? Explain.
All electromagnetic waves have polarization property whereas sound waves cannot be polarized.

In the circuit of Fig. E25.30, the 5.0 Ω resistor is removed and replaced by a resistor of unknown resistance R. When this is done, an ideal voltmeter connected across the points band creads 1.9 V. Find (a) the current in the circuit and (b) the resistance R. (c) Graph the potential rises and drops in this circuit (see Fig. 25.20).
A 10.0cm long solenoid of diameter 0.400 cm is wound uniformly with 800 turns. A second coil with 50 turns is wound around the solenoid at its center. What is the mutual inductance of the combination of the two coils?
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?
A heart defibrillator is used to enable the heart to start beating if it has stopped. This is done by passing a large current ofthrough the body atfor a very short time, usuallyabout . (a) What power does the defibrillator deliver to the body, and (b) how much energy is transferred ?
A 12.4-µF capacitor is connected through a 0.895-MΩ resistor to a constant potential difference of 60.0 V. (a) Compute the charge on the capacitor at the following times after the connections are made: 0, 5.0 s, 10.0 s, 20.0 s, and 100.0 s. (b) Compute the charging currents at the same instants. (c) Graph the results of parts (a) and (b) for t between 0 and 20 s
