Jumper cables are connected from a fresh battery in one car to charge a dead battery in another car. Figure P21.52 shows the circuit diagram for this situation. While the cables are connected, the ignition switch of the car with the dead battery is closed and the starter is activated to start the engine. Determine the current in (a) the starter and (b) the dead battery. (c) Is the dead battery being charged while the starter is operating?

An electric eel generates electric currents through its highly specialized Hunters organ, in which thousands of disk-shaped cells called electrocytes are lined up in series, very much in the same way batteries are lined up inside a flashlight. When activated, each electrocyte can maintain a potential difference of about 150 mV at a current of 1.0 A for about 2.0 ms. Suppose a grown electric eel has 4.0 103 electrocytes and can deliver up to 3.00 102 shocks in rapid series over about 1.0 s. (a) What maximum electrical power can an electric eel generate? (b) Approximately how much energy does it release in one shock? (c) How high would a mass of 1.0 kg have to be lifted so that its gravitational potential energy equals the energy released in 3.00 102 such shocks?

When a light switch is turned on, the light comes on immediately because O the lightbulb may be old with low resistance. It would take longer if the bulb were new and had high resistance. O the electricity bill is paid. The electric company can make it take longer when the bill is unpaid. O the electrons already in the wire are instantly "pushed" by a voltage difference. O the electrons coming from the power source move through the initially empty wires very fast.
In a parallel electrical circuit, the same current flows through each component, whereas the potential drop across each component can be different. Select one: O True O False
