A person in bare feet is standing under a tree during a thunderstorm, seeking shelter from the rain. A lightning strike hits the tree. A burst of current lasting 40.0 μs passes through the ground; during this time the potential difference between his feet is 29.7 kV. If the resistance between one foot and the other is 520 Ω, how much energy is dissipated in his body by the lightning? _____Jarrow_forward
- The label on a battery-powered radio recommends the use of a rechargeable nickel-cadmium cell (nicads), although it has a 1.25-V open-circuit voltage, whereas an alkaline cell has a 1.58-V open-circuit voltage. The radio has a 3.2 0 resistance. Hint a. With a nicad cell, having an internal resistance of 0.04 02, what is the voltage supplied to the radio, if a single nicad cell is used? The voltage supplied to the radio is b. With an alkaline cell, having an internal resistance of 0.2 , what is the voltage supplied to the radio, if a single alkaline cell is used? The voltage supplied to the radio is The radio's effective resistance is lowered when its volume is turned up. At what value of radio's resistance does a nicad cell begin to supply a greater voltage to the radio than an alkaline cell?
