The power rating on a light bulb indicates how much power it would dissipate when it is hooked up to the standard household volt

age of 120 V (this rating does not mean that the light bulb always dissipates the same amount of power, assume that the resistance is constant in this case).
A. How much power is dissipated in a light bulb that is normally rated at 75 W, if instead we hook it up to a potential difference of 60 V?

B. How much power is dissipated in a light bulb that is normally rated at 75 W, if instead we hook it up to a potential difference of 120 V?

Answer:

A. P = 18.75 watts

B. P = 75 watts

Explanation:

V = 120 Volts

P = VI

I = P/V = 75/120 = 0.625 Amps

V = IR

R = V/I

R = 120/0.625 = 192 Ω

So the resistance of the bulb is 192 Ω and it does not change as it is given in the question.  

A. How much power is dissipated in a light bulb that is normally rated at 75 W, if instead we hook it up to a potential difference of 60 V?

As P = VI and I = V/R

P = V*(V/R)

P = V²/R

P = (60)/192

P = 18.75 watts

As expected, it will dissipate less power (18.75 watts) than rated power due to not having rated voltage of 120 Volts.

I = V/R = 60/192 = 0.3125 Amps

or I = P/V = 18.75/60 = 0.3125 Amps

Since the resistance is being held constant, decreasing voltage will also decrease current as V = IR voltage is directly proportional to the current.

B. How much power is dissipated in a light bulb that is normally rated at 75 W, if instead we hook it up to a potential difference of 120 V?

P = V*(V/R)

P = V²/R

P = 120/192 = 75 watts

I = P/V = 75/120 = 0.625 Amps

As expected, it will dissipate rated power of 75 watts at rated voltage of 120 Volts.

A loop of wire is in a magnetic field such that its axis is parallel with the field direction. Which of the following would resu
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

All the 4 options

Explanation:

Electromagnetic induction occurs when the magnetic flux through a coil of wire is changing over time:

\epsilon = -\frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}

where

\epsilon is the emf induced in the coil

\Delta \Phi is the variation of magnetic flux

\Delta t is the variation of time

The presence of an emf in the coil will generated an induced current.

The magnetic flux through the coil is given by

\Phi = BA cos \theta

where

B is the intensity of the magnetic field

A is the area of the coil

\theta is the angle between the direction of the field and the axis of the coil

We see that any actions that changes one of these 3 variables will change the magnetic flux through the coil, so it will also induce a current.

The 4 options are:

1.Moving the loop outside of the magnetic field region. --> this will decrease the intensity of the magnetic field, B, therefore it will change the flux, and it will induce a current

2.Spin the loop such that its axis does not consistently line up with the magnetic field direction. --> this will change the angle between the direction of the coil's axis and the field B, so this will also change the flux, and therefore will induce a current

3.Change the magnitude of the magnetic field. --> this will change the magnitude of B, so this will also change the flux, and therefore will induce a current

4.Change the diameter of the loop --> this will change the area of the coil A, so this will also change the flux, and therefore will induce a current

Therefore, all 4 options are correct.

If 40.0 kj of energy are absorbed by .500 kg of water 10 degrees c, what is the final temperature of the water?
anastassius [24]

To solve the problem, we must use the following equation:

Q=mC_s (T_f -T_i)

where

Q is the amount of heat energy absorbed by the water

m is the mass of the water

Ti and Tf are the initial and final temperature

Cs is the specific heat capacity of the water

The data we have in this problem are:

Q=40.0 kJ

C_s =4.186 kJ/kg^{\circ}C

T_i=10^{\circ}C

m=0.500 kg

Substituting the data into the equation and re-arranging it, we find

T_f = T_i + \frac{Q}{mC_s}=10^{\circ}+\frac{40.0 kJ}{(0.500 kg)(4.186 kJ/kg^{\circ}}=29.1^{\circ}C

So the final temperature of the water will be 29.1 degrees.
