AR = 40 N resistor has a power rating of 10 W. This means that if the electrical power deliv- ered to this resistor exceeds 10 J/s, the resistor will burn up and be destroyed. (a) Determine the maximum potential difference that can be applied across this resistor. (b) Determine the maximum current that can be safely sent through this resistor. (c) Such a resistor that burns up is known as a fuse. Any fuse always carries a rating label on it and electricians always know the rating of a fuse before using it. Determine the rating label on this fuse.

Problem 2: During open-heart surgery, a defibrillator can be used to bring a patient out of cardiac arrest. During such a procedure, the resistance of the path is 525 Ω and a 12 mA current is needed. What voltage should be applied in V?
Your flashlight is getting dimmer and dimmer, so you assume the batteries are nearly dead. They are “D” cells producing 1.5 volts. You take the batteries out and test them with a voltmeter. The meter reveals the batteries have nearly 1.5 volts of potential. Are the batteries dead or is something else going on? Discuss how you can tell whether the batteries are dead, and how you would test the flashlight to see whether there is some internal problem. Is it an either-or proposition? Explain.
In the circuit below, all four resistors are identical (R, = R2 = R3 = R4 = R) and the battery has a voltage of 5.06 V. R1 R2 V R3 R4 (a) When the switch is placed in position 1, the measured current in the battery is 1.2 mA. What is the value of each resistor? kΩ (b) When the switch is placed in position 2, what is the current flowing out of the battery? (c) When the switch is open (neither in position 1 or position 2), what is the current flowing out of the battery?
Lightning is a spectacular example of electric current in a natural phenomenon. There is much variability to lightning bolts, but a typical event can transfer 10^9 J of energy across a potential difference of perhaps 5 x 10^7 V during a time interval of about 0.2 s. Use this information to estimate (a) the total amount of charge transferred between cloud and ground (b) the current in the lightning bolt (c) the average power delivered over the 0.2 s.
