0.52. The power loss in the wire is
Solve the following Numerical problems
a. What is the Output Voltage of a battery that expends 7.2J of energy in moving 1C of charge?
b. A 50-ohm load dissipates 200W of power. How much is the voltage and current across the load?
c. If one branch of a 120-V power line is protected by a fuse of 20-A. Will the fuse carry 10-Ohm load?
d. If total resistance of a series circuit is 280-Ohm. If one of the resistance is 160-Ohm. What is the sum of other two resistances?
In a simple electric circuit, Ohm's law states that
V = IR, where V is the voltage in volts, I is the
current in amperes, and R is the resistance in ohms.
Assume that, as the battery wears out, the voltage
decreases at 0.04 volts per second and, as the resistor
heats up, the resistance is increasing at 0.02 ohms per
second. When the resistance is 300 ohms and the
current is 0.01 amperes, at what rate is the current
changing?
amperes per second
