You are cooking breakfast for yourself and a friend using a 1 200-W waffle iron and a 500-W coffeepot. Usually, you operate these appliances from a 110-V outlet for 0.500 h each day. (a) At 12 cents per kWh, how much do you spend to cook breakfast during a 30.0-day period? (b) You find yourself addicted to waffles and would like to upgrade to a 2 400-W waffle iron that will enable you to cook twice as many waffles during a half-hour period, but you know that the circuit breaker in your kitchen is a 20-A breaker. Can you do the upgrade?

Semi-truck or trucks use four large 12-V batteries. The starter systemrequires 24 V, while normal operation of the truck’s other electrical components utilizes 12 V. How could the four batteries be connected to produce 24 V? To produce 12 V? Why is 24 V better than 12 V for starting the truck’s engine (a very heavy load)?
Before leaving the house in the morning, you plop some stew in your slow cooker and turn it on Low. The slow cooker has a 160 Ohm resistor and is plugged into a 120 V outlet. When you come home 8 hours later, how much charge has passed through the slow cooker circuit in that time?
The Nissan Leaf is an all-electric car powered by a 107-hp electric motor and a lithium-ion battery that stores 24 kWh and produces 394 V at its terminals when fully charged. The Leaf's battery can charge at the rate of 3.3 kW from a standard 120-V power outlet, at 6.6 kW from a 240-V outlet, and at 44 kW using a special 480-V charger. The Leaf's fuel economy is 3.38 miles per kWh, the equivalent of 114 miles per gallon in a gasoline-powered car. Find the current delivered by the fully charged battery when the motor is operating at full power.

To enable continuous power even during night, you would need to have a regular 100 Ah, 12 V lead acid battery (you do not use much electricity in your small cottage). Image: Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0 However, you happen to have an old empty well in your backyard and you start to think if you could somehow utilize that. After all, batteries do not last forever and you would like to find a more sustainable solution. Image: Pxhere.com, CC0 Lets imagine that you could rig a gravitational energy storage by hanging a suitable weight on a cable and linking this cable to a motor-generator: if surplus electricity is available, the motor would lift the weight upwards in the well. Then, when electricity is needed, the weight would drop downwards and rotate the generator to produce electricity. Assumptions: The available well depth is 10 m, i.e. the maximum height difference you can use for the gravitational energy storage is 10 m. You can neglect all energy losses, friction, weight…
