- You have been called in as an expert witness in a civil case. The case involves a dispute between neighbors. The plaintiff neighbor is complaining about a buzzing noise during the night that prevents the plaintiff from sleeping. He claims that the buzzing is coming from a light fixture on the defendants porch ceiling. The defendant likes to do installations and repairs himself and has done a sloppy job of installing the light fixture. The fixture hangs vertically from a single wire that is attached through the porch ceiling and down the wall to one connector in a nearby electrical outlet. The second wire is hung horizontally with strings at the level of the light and then runs down the wall to the other connector in the outlet. The defendant leaves the light on all night long for security. Recalling his high school physics, the plaintiff states that the combination of the 60-Hz household voltage and the magnetic field of the Earth results in an oscillating driving force on the single wire from which the light fixture hangs vertically. This, in turn, sets up a standing wave in the wire, and that is the cause of the buzz. You have been hired by the defense attorney. Upon hearing the details of the case, you obtain permission from the defendant and make measurements. The mass of the light fixture is 17.5 kg. The vertical wire from which it hangs is 0.150 m long and has a mass of 0.030 kg. Is the plaintiff correct that the magnetic field of the Earth is causing the buzzing of the wire? Ignore any effect of the second wire.arrow_forwardThe rather simple circuit shown below is known as a voltage divider. The symbol consisting of three horizontal lines is represents “ground” and can be defined as the point where the potential is zero. The voltage divider is widely used in circuits and a single voltage source can be used to provide reduced voltage to a load resistor as shown in the second part of the figure, (a) What is the output voltage Vout of circuit (a) in terms of R1,R2,andVin (b) What is the output voltage Vout of circuit (b) in terms of R1,R2,RLandVinarrow_forwardYou have a faculty position at a community college and are m (caching a class in automotive technology. You are deep in a discussion of using jumper cables to start a car with a dead battery from a car with a fresh battery. You have drawn the circuit diagram in Figure P27.16 to explain the process. The battery on the left is the live batten- in the correctly functioning car, with emf and internal resistance RL where the L. subscript refers to live. Its terminals are connected directly across those of the dead battery, in the middle of the diagram, with emf and internal resistance RD where the D subscript refers to "dead Then, the starter in the car with the dead battery is activated by closing the ignition switch, allowing the car to start. The resistance of the starter is Rs. A student raises his hand and asks, So is the dead battery being charged while the starter is operating? How do you respond?arrow_forward
- In places such as hospital operating rooms or factories for electronic circuit boards, electric sparks must be avoided. A prison standing on a grounded floor and touching nothing else can typically have a body capacitance of 150 pF, in parallel with a foot capacitance of 80.0 pF produced by the dielectric soles of his or her shoes. The person acquires static electric charge from interactions with Ills or her surroundings. The static charge flows to ground through the equivalent resistance of the two shoe soles in parallel with each other. A pair of rubber-soled street shoes can present an equivalent resistance of 5.00 103 M. A pair of shoes with special static-dissipative soles can have an equivalent resistance of 1.00 M. Consider the persons body and shoes as forming an RC circuit with the ground. (a) How long does it take the rubber-soled shoes to reduce a persons potential from 3.00 103 V to 100? (b) How long does it take the static-dissipative shoes to do the same thing?arrow_forwardThe immediate cause of many deaths is ventricular fibrillation, which is an uncoordinated quivering of the heart. An electric shock to the chest can cause momentary paralysis of the heart muscle, after which the heart sometimes resumes its proper beating. One type of defibrillator (chapter-opening photo, page 777) applies a strong electric shock to the chest over a time interval of a few milliseconds. This device contains a capacitor of several microfarads, charged to several thousand volts. Electrodes called paddles are held against the chest on both sides of tire heart, and the capacitor is discharged through the patient's chest. Assume an energy of 300 J is to be delivered from a 30.0-F capacitor. To what potential difference must it be charged?arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between voltage and energy? Mote precisely, what is the relationship between potential difference and electric potential energy?arrow_forward
- Two capacitors, C1 = 25.0 F and C2 = 5.00 F, are connected in parallel and charged with a 100-V power supply. (a) Draw a circuit diagram and (b) calculate the total energy stored in the two capacitors. (c) What If? What potential difference would be required across the same two capacitors connected in series for the combination to store the same amount of energy as in part (b)? (d) Draw a circuit diagram of the circuit described in part (c).arrow_forwardThe following statements are related to household circuits and electrical safety. Determine whether each statement is true (T) or false (F). (a) Circuit breakers are wired in series with the outlets they protect. (b) A circuit breaker rated at 20 A provides a constant current of 20 A to each outlet in the circuit. (c) Three-wire electrical cords help prevent dangerous electrical shocks by grounding the case of a device.arrow_forwardConstruct Your Own Problem Consider a battery used to supply energy to a cellular phone. Construct a problem in which you determine the energy that must be supplied by the battery, and then calculate the amount of charge it must be able to move in order to supply this energy. Among the things to be considered are the energy needs and battery voltage. You may need to look ahead to interpret manufacturer’s battery ratings in ampere hours as energy in joules.arrow_forward
