Suppose that your uncle is decorating his house for Christmas. He uses 300 strands of lights each containing 150 light bulbs. Each light bulb consumes 4 watts of power. If he illuminates his lights 5 hours a day for 30 days and power in his area sells for $0.08/kWh, how much will he end up paying to light his home for the holidays?

When the lights of a car are switched on, an ammeter in series with them reads 7.01 A and a voltmeter connected across them reads 12.0 V (see the figure). When the electric starting motor is turned on, the ammeter reading drops to 5.91 A and the lights dim somewhat. If the internal resistance of the battery is 0.0571 and that of the ammeter is negligible, what are (a) the emf of the battery and (b) the current through the starting motor (in A) when the lights are on?
