QUESTION 3 Suppose that you have a leaf blower that draws 1100 Watts in operation, It is fed by an extension cord that is plugged into a 120 volt outlet by two wires having a resistance of 0.15 ohms each. Because of that resistance, the voltage at the leaf blower is a bit less than 120 volts, but you can still assume that it runs on the same current it would if it were connected to a true 120 volt supply. How much power is dissipated in the extension cord? 25 watts 13 watts O 40 watts 63 watts O 20 watts

7. You want to reduce your carbon footprint in the next Yuletide season, so you plan to re-use last year's Christmas lights to your Christmas tree. You notice that one of the lightbulbs stops working but the other remaining bulbs are still in good condition. What is your hypothesis regarding how these lightbulbs are connected? Group of answer choices The lights are connected in a series circuit. The lights are connected in a parallel circuit. It would be impossible to determine the type of connection for the lights without dismantling the wiring. The lights are connected in a combination of series and parallel circuits.
