Chapter 25, Problem 30E
A new mechanic foolishly connects an ammeter with 0.1-Ω resistance directly across a 12-V car battery with internal resistance 0.01 Ω. What’s the power dissipation in the meter? (No wonder it gels destroyed!)

Students have asked these similar questions
A high tension (HT) supply of, say, 6 kV must have a very large internal resistance. Why?
. An RC circuit with a 54.0 V power source is connected to a fluorescent lamp as shown in the
ngure. The lamp L turns on when the voltage across the capacitor reaches 45.0V, which
happens after 0.65 seconds after the switch is closed. If R =
the capacitance C? (b) If we must switch the lamps 3 times in a second, what should be the
value of capacitance? (c) What is the charge on the capacitor when the lamp just flashes in
3MQ, (a) what is the value of
both the cases?
ww
R
54.0V
Look at a circuit
made up of a
resistor, a battery, a
capacitor, and a
switch. Take the time
constant of the circuit
to be 3.12 seconds.
So if the resistor has
a current of 420 mA
and a voltage of 12.0
V when the switch is
closed, calculate the
capacitance of the
capacitor.
