Get started for freeAn idealized voltmeter is connected across the terminals of abattery, and arole="math" localid="1655719696009" appliance is also connected across its terminals. If the voltmeter reads (a) how much power is being dissipated by the appliance, and (b) what is the internal resistance of the battery?
High-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 fuse is a device designed to break a circuit, usually by melting when the current exceeds a certain value. What characteristics should the material of the fuse have?
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?
In the circuit shown in Fig. E26.49, C = 5.90 mF, Ԑ = 28.0 V, and the emf has negligible resistance. Initially, the capacitor is uncharged and the switch S is in position 1. The switch is then moved to position 2 so that the capacitor begins to charge. (a) What will be the charge on the capacitor a long time after S is moved to position 2? (b) After S has been in position 2 for 3.00 ms, the charge on the capacitor is measured to be 110 mC What is the value of the resistance R? (c) How long after S is moved to position 2 will the charge on the capacitor be equal to 99.0% of the final value found in part (a)?
