The drawing shows a circuit that includes a bimetallic strip (made from brass and steel) with a resistance heater wire wrapped around it. When the switch is initially closed, a current appears in the circuit because charges flow through the heater wire (which becomes hot), the strip itself, the contact point, and the light bulb. The bulb glows in response. As long as the switch remains closed, does the bulb (a) continue to glow, (b) eventually turn off permanently, or (c) flash on and off?

The pedestrian crossing of Washington Road and Ivy Lane (near the Physics building) needs a back-up battery in event of power failure. In order for the three lights to be bright enough to be seen in daylight, each of the three RL = 50 N lights must dissipate P = the 3 lights are connected in parallel (see the drawing), and the open circuit voltage of the battery (that is, the voltage when there is no current) is Vo = 110 volts. What is the maximum internal battery resistance R; allowable given that each lamp must dissipate 220 watts? 220 watts. Suppose %3D %3D Ri Vo RL pyri
