Get started for freeHigh-voltage power supplies are sometimes designed intentionally to have rather large internal resistance as a safety precaution. Why is such a power supply with a large internal resistance safer than a supply with the same voltage but lower internal resistance?
A battery-powered global positioning system (GPS) receiver operating 9.0 V on draws a current of 0.13 A. How much electrical energy does it consume during 30 minutes?
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?
A silver wire 2.6 mm in diameter transfers a charge of 420 C in 80
