(a) What is the internal resistance (in N) of a voltage source if its terminal voltage drops by 3.10 V when the current
supplied increases by 7.00 A?
Ω
(b) Can the emf of the voltage source be found with the information supplied?
O Yes, emf can be found using another equation.
No, the voltage source does not have an emf.
O No, there is only one independent equation, so only the resistance can be found.
O Yes, emf can be found using Ohm's law.
A Christmas light is made to flash via the discharge of a capacitor. The effective duration of the flash is 0.21 s (which you can assume is the time constant of the capacitor), during which it produces an average 35 mW from an average voltage of 2.85 V.
What is the resistance, in ohms, of the light?
Consider an initially uncharged capacitor in an RC circuit. The resistance is 20,000 Ohms and the
capacitance is 500 x10• F. If the source potential being used to charge the capacitor is 15 V, how
long after charging begins will the power delivered to the resistor be 25 % of its maximum value?
