Chapter 24, Problem 73P
You work for an automobile manufacturer developing a new plug-in hybrid car. The car’s mass is 1200 kg, and it uses a 360-V battery driving an electric motor that can handle a maximum current of 180 A. You’re to specify the greatest slope the car can climb, maintaining 60 km/h, without its gasoline engine coming on to assist.

The sticker on a compact disc (CD) player says that it draws 288 mA (milliampere) of current when powered by a 9 Volt battery. What is the power (in Watts) of the CD player?
A person grasps the ends of an electrically conducting copper wire in each hand. The wire
has a cross-sectional area of 4.0×106 m² and its surface is not insulated. If the person's hands
are wet, the resistance of the possible electrical pathway from one hand, up the arm, across
the chest and down into the other hand is about 1 kQ.
(a) A current of 10 mA can “freeze" the muscles so the hands are clenched around the
wires. Estimate the potential difference between the ends of the wire which would
cause this.
(b) How much power is dissipated in the person's body if this current flows?
(c) The ends of the wire are connected to make a circuit that includes a battery. If the
person grasps the wire with hands 0.20 m apart, comment on the resistances of the
possible paths of electric current. The resistivity of copper is 1.7x108 Qm.
