Your teacher decides to replace a 60-W incandescent lightbulb in her kitchen with a 9-W LED bulb. The voltage is unchanged in the circuit. Which of the following statements correctly describes the results of her decision? (Remember V=IR and P=IV) The lower power rating results in a decrease in the current and an increase in the resistance. The lower power rating results in a rise in the current and a rise in the resistance. The lower power rating results in a rise in the current and a decrease in the resistance. The lower power rating results in a decrease in the current and a decrease in the resistance.

You are analyzing an electrical circuit around a battery that outputs 9 V. The circuit is designed to carry a maximum current of 2 A - anything above that and a fuse in the circuit will break, to keep the circuit from being overloaded. Currently a 3.2 N appliance is the only resistor in the circuit. Will the fuse blow out? If so, what new resistor would be needed so the 2 A limit is not exceeded?
Two resistors, A and B, are connected in a series circuit with a battery. The resistance of A is twice that of B. Which resistor dissipates more power? (a) Resistor A does. (b) Resistor B does. (c ) More information is needed. The answer is (a). Can you explain why?

A hollow non-conducting spherical shell has inner radius R1 = 5 cm and outer radius R2 = 19 cm. A charge Q = -45 nC lies at the center of the shell. The shell carries a spherically symmetric charge density ρ = Ar for R1 < r < R2 that increases linearly with radius, where A = 18 μC/m4. What is the radial electric field at the point r = 2R2? Give your answer in units of kN/C.
A 12 volt car battery is being used to power a circuit with a total resistance of 0.5 Mega-ohm. a) What is the power (in watts) being used by this circuit? b) The circuit is switched on for exactly 27.3 days and then switched off.

In our circuit, current flows in the blue path and the red path. Sometimes people say things like, "the current takes the path of least resistance" but this is clearly not true since the red path has more resistance than the blue. Can you explain why all the current does not just the blue path (the least resistance path)? Think conceptually and come up with a metaphor for this situation.
