Problem 7: Why do lights dim when a large appliance is switched on? The answer is that the large current the appliance motor draws causes a significant potential drop in the wires and reduces the voltage across the lights. This is called an IR drop because it is simply due to the current and resistance of the device in question. -Refrigerator Low P. Bulb dims R wire resistance Low R large /, R ww Motor Part (a) Assume the bulb in question dissipates P2 = 75 W when connected to the 120 V AC source. What average power will the bulb dissipate if I = 13.5 A passes through the wires when the motor comes on? Assume a negligible change in bulb resistance, while the resistance of the wires are R1 = 0.55 Q. Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression. P2' = Part (b) How much power, P3, in watts, is consumed on average by the motor? Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression. P3 =

The total current delivered to a number of devices connected in parallel is the sum of the individual currents in each device. Circuit breakers are resettable automatic switches that protect against a dangerously large total current by "opening" to stop the current at a specified safe value. A 1640-W toaster, a 1200-W iron, and a 1340-W microwave oven are turned on in a kitchen. As the drawing shows, they are all connected through a 20-A circuit breaker (which has negligible resistance) to an ac voltage of 120 V. (a) Find the equivalent resistance of the three devices.
