A 1400 W refrigerator, a 1500 W electric frying pan, and a 200 W lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 15 A, 440 V circuit. ( these devices are in parallel when plugged into the same socket.) What current (in A) is drawn by refrigerator? **Problem Statement:**Find the equivalent resistance (in µΩ) of the combination of resistors shown in the figure below, if \( R_1 = 200 \, \mu\Omega \) and \( R_2 = 200 \, \mu\Omega \).**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram features a combination of resistors arranged as follows:1. **Resistor R1** with a resistance of \( 200 \, \mu\Omega \).2. Four additional visible resistors with specified resistances: - \( 3.50 \, \mu\Omega \) - \( 8.00 \, \mu\Omega \) - \( 1.50 \, \mu\Omega \) - \( 0.75 \, \mu\Omega \)3. **Resistor R2** with a resistance of \( 200 \, \mu\Omega \).**Connections:**- The resistor \( R_1 \) is connected in parallel with the \( 3.50 \, \mu\Omega \) resistor.- The \( 8.00 \, \mu\Omega \) resistor is connected in series with the above parallel combination.- Parallel to this series connection, there are two resistors: \( 1.50 \, \mu\Omega \) and a combination of \( 0.75 \, \mu\Omega \) and \( R_2 \).- The \( 0.75 \, \mu\Omega \) resistor is in series with \( R_2 \), and this combination is in parallel with the \( 1.50 \, \mu\Omega \) resistor.**Objective:**Calculate the equivalent resistance of the described resistor network in micro-ohms (µΩ).

A generating station is producing 1.3 x 106 W of power that is to be sent to a small town located 7.4 km away. Each of the two wires that comprise the transmission line has a resistance per length of 3.4 x 10-2/km. (a) Find the power lost in heating the wires if the power is transmitted at 1600 V. (b) A 100:1 step-up transformer is used to raise the voltage before the power is transmitted. How much power is now lost in heating the wires?
A 1.00-MΩ voltmeter is placed in parallel with a 75.0-kΩ resistor in a circuit. If the voltage across the combination is kept the same as it was across the 75.0-kΩ resistor alone, what is the percent increase in current?
All household circuits are wired in parallel. A 1140-W toaster, a 300-W blender, and a 50-W lamp are plugged into the same outlet. (The three devices are in parallel when plugged into the same outlet.) Assume that this is the standard household 120-V circuit with a 15-A fuse. (a) What current is drawn by each device? Itoaster = A Iblender = A Ilamp A (b) To see if this combination will blow the 15-A fuse, find the total current used when all three appliances are on. Itotal =
You decide to “go green" and use an exercise bike to power your home appliances. Assume that your exercise bike is rigged to generate electrical power with 60% efficiency. In other words, only 6/10 of the power you develop can be used to store electrical energy for later use. Consider your 3500-Watt central AC unit. You need to run this unit for 4 hours each day during the summer. If you can develop a sustained power of 300 Watts on your exercise bike, how long would you have to work out just to keep the AC running on a summer day?
