10. (II) An electric device draws 6.50 A at 240 V. (a) If the
voltage drops by 15%, what will be the current, assuming
nothing else changes? (b) If the resistance of the device
were reduced by 15%, what current would be drawn
at 240 V?
(II) (a) What is the current in the element of an electricclothes dryer with a resistance of 8.6 Ω when it is connectedto 240 V? (b) How much charge passes through the element in 50 min? (Assume direct current.)
(II) You buy a 75-W lightbulb in Europe, where electricityis delivered at 240 V. If you use the bulb in the United Statesat 120 V (assume its resistance does not change), how brightwill it be relative to 75-W 120-V bulbs? [Hint: Assumeroughly that brightness is proportional to power consumed.]
