- A 120-V immersion heater consists of a coil of wire that is placed in a cup to boil the water. The heater can boil one cup of 20.00°C water in 180.00 seconds. You buy one to use in your dorm room, but you are worried that you will overload the circuit and nip the 15.00-A, 120-V circuit breaker, which supplies your dorm room. In your dorm room, you have four 100.00-W incandescent lamps and a 1500.00-W space heater, (a) What is the power rating of the immersion heater? (b) Will it trip the breaker when everything is turned on? (c) If it you replace the incandescent bulbs with 18.00-W LED, will the breaker nip when everything is turned on?arrow_forwardFoolishly trying to fish a burning piece of bread from a toaster with a metal butter knife, a man conies into contact with 120-V AC.

- A man foolishly tries to fish a burning piece of bread from a toaster with a metal butter knife and comes into contact with 120-V ac. He does not even feel it since, luckily, he is wearing rubber-soled shoes. What is the minimum resistance of the path tire current follows through the person?arrow_forwardThe immediate cause of many deaths is ventricular fibrillation, an uncoordinated quivering of the heart, as opposed to proper beating. An electric shock to the chest can cause momentary paralysis of the heart muscle, after which the heart will sometimes start organized beating again. A defibrillator is a device that applies a strong electric shock to the chest over a time of a few milliseconds. The device contains a capacitor of a few microfarads, charged to several thousand volts. Electrodes called paddles, about 8 cm across and coated with conducting paste, are held against the chest on both sides of the heart. Their handles are insulated to prevent injury to the operator, who calls Clear! and pushes a button on one paddle to discharge the capacitor through the patient's chest Assume an energy of 3.00 102 W s is to be delivered from a 30.0-F capacitor. To what potential difference must it be charged?arrow_forwardShow that if two resistors R1and R2are combined and one is much greater than the other (R 1 >>R 2 ): (a) Their series resistance is very nearly equal to the greater resistance R 1. (b) Their parallel resistance is very nearly equal to smaller resistance R2.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_forwardFind the time after t = 0 when the instantaneous voltage of 60-Hz AC first reaches the following values: (a) V0/2 (b) v0 (c) 0.arrow_forwardWhen working with high-power electric circuits, it is advised that whenever possible, you work "one-handed” or “keep one hand in your pocket." Why is this a sensible suggestion?arrow_forward
- The power dissipated by a resistor with a resistance of R=100 is P = 2.0 W . What are the current through and the voltage drop across the resistor?arrow_forwardThree identical 60.0-W, 120-V lightbulbs are connected across a 120-V power source as shown in Figure P28.72. Assuming the resistance of each lightbulb is constant (even though in reality the resistance might increase markedly with current), find (a) the total power supplied by the power source and (b) the potential difference across each lightbulb.arrow_forwardWhen the current in the portion of the circuit shown in Figure P32.65 is 2.00 A anti increases at a rate of 0.500 A/s, the measured voltage is Vab = 9.00 V. When the current is 2.00 A and decreases at the rate of 0.500 A/s. the measured voltage is Vab = 5.00 V. Calculate the values of (a) I. and (b) Rarrow_forward
