Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 16RP
Sometimes a direct measurement of resistance is not practical. For example, tungsten filament bulbs get hot after turning them on, causing the resistance to increase. An ohmmeter cannot be used in an energized circuit, therefore it can only measure the cold resistance. Assume you want to know the equivalent hot resistance of the two headlight bulbs and the two taillight bulbs in a car. The two headlights normally operate on 12.6 V and draw 2.8 A each when they are on.
What is the total equivalent resistance of two headlights that each draw 3.15 A?
