A hand-cranked generator can be connected to a number of light bulbs via a switch. Is it easier to turn the handle of the generator when the switch is open (i.e. no light bulbs illuminated) or closed, or does it not make any difference? Explain your answer.
Three identical lights are connected to a battery as shown. Does the battery drain faster if the switch is open or closed? Explain. (You can ignore the internal resistance of the battery).
Imagine an electrical current which comes out of an American wall outlet in a smoothly alternating pattern of high current in one direction down in magnitude all the way through zero to equally high current in the other direction, and so on forever. This alternating current, is measured in Amperes and designated with a variable called / fluctuates AROUND an EQUILIBRIUM value of 0 Amperes according to the following equation (for which time is measured in seconds): d²1 dt2 = -1421291. Imagine, further, some wall device for which the current at t=0 (the initial and maximum current) is l = +15 Amperes. In HERTZ (rounded to 3 sig figs), approximately how frequently does this 1) device cycle through the full range of total charge magnitudes (from its maximum, through o to its minimum, and all the way back through o to its initial/maximum)? DON'T FORGET TO PROVIDE SOME KIND OF DIAGRAM! In seconds, find how much TIME will elapse from t=0 until precisely the 2) second instant the current is…
