You want to run a spaceheater that uses 1500 Watts of power at a voltage of 120 V, so you run a 100 m long 14 gauge copper wire (d = 1.63 mm) to your friend's dorm room, which has not lost power. What effect will the added resistance of the wire have on the power that can be delivered to the spaceheater? (Calculate the power delivered to the space heater.) If your friend has to pay for their electricity at 11 cents per kilowatt hour, calculate how much you would have to pay them if you leave the spaceheater running for 14 hours. Your friend reminds you to include the power dissipated in the cord.arrow_forwardWhat is the resistance of a light bulb if 0.50 A flows through it when 120 V is connected across it? 2.
