- Why is the following situation impossible? An inquisitive physics student takes a 100-W incandescent lightbulb out of its socket and measures its resistance with an ohmmeter. He measures a value of 10.5 Ω. He is able to connect an ammeter to the lightbulb socket to correctly measure the current drawn by the bulb while operating. Inserting the bulb back into the socket and operating the bulb from a 120-V source, he measures the current to be 11.4 A.arrow_forwardA heart defibrillator being used on a patient has an RC time constant of 10.5 ms due to the resistance of the patient's body and the capacitance of the defibrillator.
