A ceiling fan operates at three speeds, using 120 V of electricity from the wall. At low speeds, it
uses 0.25 A. Calculate the resistance needed to generate that current. Then in 1-2 sentences,
describe how the resistance would change at medium and high speeds if larger currents are
needed at those speeds. Your answer should include the calculated resistance and a sentence
describing your reasoning.

1. Good thermal conductors are said to be good electrical conductors. If so, why is it that cords used to connect toasters, irons, and heat-producting apoliances get hot by the conduction of heat from the heating element?
2. How would you expect the resistivity of a good insulator such as glass or polysterene to vary with temperature?
3. A fuse is a device that is designed to break the circuit. It melts when the current exceeds its value. What characteristics should the material have?
