Chapter 4: Q7DQ (page 872)

A battery with no internal resistance is connected across identical light bulbs as shown in Fig. Q 26.7. When you close the switch S, will the brightness of bulbs B1 andB2 change? If so, how will it change? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Brightness will be the same forB1 and B2.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Definition of parallel connection

In a parallel circuit, all components are connected parallelly, connected all the first and last ends together in an electrical circuit. Voltage drop across all the components is same.

02

Determining the brightness of each bulb connected

The three bulbs are in parallel, therefore, the same voltage is across each bulb. And when is closed, no change in the voltage acrossB1 and B2. Therefore, the two bulbs will have the same brightness.

Thus, Brightness will be the same forB1 and B2.

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.

Fig. E25.33

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

The energy that can be extracted from a storage battery is always less than the energy that goes into it while it is being charged. Why?

Two copper wires with different diameter are joined end to end. If a current flow in the wire combination, what happens to electrons when they move from the large diameter wire into the smaller diameter wire? Does their drift speed increase, decrease, or stay the same? If the drift speed change, what is the role the force that causes the change? Explain your reasoning.

An electron moves at 1.40×106m/sthrough a regionin which there is a magnetic field of unspecified direction and magnitude 7.40×10-2T. (a) What are the largest and smallest possible magnitudes of the acceleration of the electron due to the magnetic field? (b) If the actual acceleration of the electron is one-fourth of the largest magnitude in part (a), what is the angle
between the electron velocity and the magnetic field?
