Wires A and B are identical (same length and radius) except that each is made from a different material. The resistivity of wire A is larger than the resistivity of B. One end of wire A is connected to one end of wire B. The two remaining free ends are connected across a battery (so the wires and battery form one continuous loop) and current flows through the two wires. Is the potential difference across the two wires is the same, or is it different? If different, which potential is larger? How about the current through each wire? Are they the same or different, and if different, which current is larger? Please explain your answers.
A certain brand of hotdog cooker works by applying a potential difference of 122 V across opposite ends of a hot dog and allowing it to cook by means of the thermal energy produced. The current is 10.8 A, and the energy required to cook one hot dog is 63.3 kJ. If the rate at which energy is supplied is unchanged, how long will it take to cook three hot dogs simultaneously?

Current Attempt in Progress Figure (a) gives the magnitude E(x) of the electric fields that have been set up by a battery along a resistive rod of length L = 9.00 mm (see Figure (b)). The vertical scale is set by E, - 5.20 x10³ V/m. The rod consists of three sections of the same material but with different radii. (The schematic diagram of the figure (b) below does not indicate the different radii.) The radius of section 3 is 2.01 mm. What is the radius of (a) section 1 and (b) section 2? 3 Ⓡ x (mm) x= L
A heart defibrillator is used to enable the heart to start beating if it has stopped. This is done by passing a large current of 12 A through the body at 25 V for a very short time, usually about 3 milliseconds. How much energy is transferred from the defibrillator to the body? O 0.90 J O 300 J O900 J O 0.30 J

Electric current passing through a human body can be dangerous, even fatal, depending on the amount of current, the duration of the current, and the region of the body through which the current passes. However, currents less than about 0.5 mA are typically imperceptible. A current caused by a low potential difference typically travels through the outer layer of the skin. The resistance of the skin therefore determines how much current flows for a given potential difference. The resistance can be influenced by a number of factors, including whether the skin is wet or dry . For example, suppose an electric current of 89.0 µA follows a path through the thumb and index finger. When the skin is dry, the resistance along this path is 4.40 ✕ 105 Ω. What voltage (in V) is required for this current, in the case of dry skin? V When the skin is wet, the resistance is lowered to 1,950 Ω. What voltage (in V) is required for the same current, in the case of wet skin? V
