10 min
of operation?
Four 2.2 V cells are connected in series to a 8.0 light bulb. If the resulting
current is 0.75 A, what is the internal resistance (in Q) of each cell,
assuming they are identical and neglecting the resistance of the wires?
An electric heater works by passing a current of 100 A
though a coiled metal wire, making it red hot. If the
resistance of the wire is 1.1 ohms, what voltage must be
applied to it?
