To move 3.0C of charge from one electrode to another, a 12V battery must do how much work?
|
W = qΔV = (3.0 C)(12 V) = 36 J
|
|
In circuit diagram, battery represented by:
|
two unequal length lines

More charge flows past given point on wire when wire has a current of
|
all same currents because q = It.
|
|
Least current
|
1.5 C passing a given point in 1.5 min because I = q/t.

|
In a current carrying metal wire, the drift velocity of the electrons is in the order of:
|
a few millimeters per seconds.. The electrical signal (the energy) through the wires is transmitted near the speed of light, but the actual motion of the charges is quite slow, of the order of a few mm/s.
|
|
When light switch goes on, electric energy gets to bulb at speed on order of:
|

|
|
Both length and diameter of cylinder resistor are doubled? what happened to resistance?
|
diameter, increase by a factor of 4.. length, doubles the resistance
|
|
Electric power unit watt is equivalent to:
|
A2xohm, J/s, V2/ohm
|
|
If voltage across resistor doubled, the expended in resistor is:
|
increased by a factor of 4 Since P = V2/R, doubling the voltage will increase the power by a factor of 4.
|
|
Current halved, power expend by resistor is:
|
decreases by factor of 4 Since P = I2R, halving the current will reduce the power by a factor of ( )2 = .

|
The drift of speed of electrons in a complete circuit is a few mm per sec. Yet lamp is 3.0m away from light switch and turns on when u flip switch. Why?
|
electric field in the wire propagate at close to the speed of light
|
|
Filaments in bulbs fail after bulb turned on rather than when they've been on for awhile. Why?
|
When the light is first turned on, the filament is cool so its resistance is low and the current is high. Once the lamp is hot, its resistance increases and current decreases, so there is less chance of burning out since the rate of heating is now lower.
|
|
Why voltage drops in parallel
|
When internal resistance increases the terminal voltage drops.
|
|
What would happen to power outlet when you plugged a 240V europe outlet designed for 120V from united states?
|
power output would quadruple and it would overheat and burn out.
|
|
Which one gives off more power when heating across 12 V battery, 5 ohm or 10 ohm resistor?

the smaller (5.0 Ω) resistor dissipates more power than the larger one.

No but if all resistors equal, the voltages across are the same

|
No, hey must have the same resistance if they want to be
|
|
If a large resistor and a small resistor are connected in series, will value of effective resistance be closer to that of the large resistance or that of the small? What about parallel?
|
series, effective resistance closed to value of larger... parallel, closer to smaller

|
40W bulb glows brightest, 60W has smaller resistance
|
|
What would happen is ammeter connect in parallel with current carrying circuit element?
|
ampmeter has low resistance so it would burn out
|
|
What would happen is voltmeter connect in parallel with current carrying circuit element?
|
voltmeter has high resistance so it circuit drop would be close to 0
|
|
Explain why it is safe for bird to perch with both feet on same high volt wire, even if insulation was worn through?
|
A conductor has very low resistance. The resistance of the wire between the feet is very small; so the voltage (or potential difference) between the feet is also very small. This means that the current through the bird is also small.
