Question 5

A '100-W' European light bulb is rated for $$220\ \mathrm{V}. If $$used in the United States at $$120\ \mathrm{V}$$, what is its power output?

Accepted Answer

$$P = 100 	imes \left(\frac{120}{220}\$$right)^2$$ = 29.8\ \mathrm{W}$$

Question 6

How much current does the '100-W' European bulb draw when used at $$120\ \mathrm{V} in $$the United States?

Accepted Answer

$$I = \frac{120}{484} = 0.25\ \mathrm{A}$$

Question 7

A GPS receiver operates at $$8.8\ \mathrm{V}$$ and draws $$0.15\ \mathrm{A}. $$How much electrical energy does it consume in $$1.5\ \mathrm{h}$$?

Accepted Answer

$$E = 8.8 	imes 0.15 	imes 1.5 	imes 3600 = 7.1 	imes 10^3$\ \mathrm{J}$$

Question 8

Which equation correctly relates the terminal voltage $$V_{	ext{term}} of a $$battery to its emf $$\mathcal{E}$$, internal resistance $$r$$, and current $$I$$?

Accepted Answer

$$V_{	ext{term}} = \mathcal{E} - Ir$$

Question 9

If the drift velocity of electrons in a wire is doubled, what happens to the current, assuming all other factors remain constant?

Accepted Answer

The current doubles.

Accepted Answer

$$R_{	ext{new}} = 1.1R$$

Question 11

Which of the following best explains why household wiring uses copper instead of silver, even though silver has lower resistivity?

Accepted Answer

Copper is much less expensive than silver, making it more practical for large-scale use.

Question 12

A wire of length $$L$$ and cross-sectional area $$A$$ carries a current $$I. If $$both $$L$$ and $$A$$ are doubled, what happens to the resistance?

Accepted Answer

The resistance remains the same.
