A light bulb connects to a battery. A second, identical light bulb connects in parallel to the first light bulb. The connecting

wires have negligible resistance. When the switch is closed, the original light bulb will:
O no longer light.
O become brighter.
O become dimmer.
O experience no change in brightness.

Answer:d

Explanation:

Suppose V is the voltage of battery and R is the resistance of bulb

so Power drop for initial stage

$P_1=\frac{V^2}{R}$

When another identical bulb of same resistance is applied in parallel so voltage Drop across both the resistor will be same i.e. V

so Power consumed $P_2=\frac{V^2}{R}$

so there is no change in power and hence no dip in brightness

A 6.5 l sample of nitrogen at 25◦c and 1.5 atm is allowed to expand to 13.0 l. the temperature remains constant. what is the fin

ollegr [7]

Since the temperature of the gas remains constant in the process, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas transformation at constant temperature, the product between the gas pressure and its volume is constant:
$pV=k$
which can also be rewritten as
$p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2$ (1)
where the labels 1 and 2 mark the initial and final conditions of the gas.

In our problem, $p_1 = 1.5 atm$ , $V_1 =6.5 L$ and $V_2 =13.0 L$ , so the final pressure of the gas can be found by re-arranging eq.(1):
$p_2 = p_1 \frac{V_1}{V_2}= (1.5 atm) \frac{6.5 L}{13.0 L}=0.75 atm$

Therefore the correct answer is
<span>1. 0.75 atm</span>

A 60-W, 120-V light bulb and a 200-W, 120-V light bulb are connected in series across a 240-V line. Assume that the resistance o

gulaghasi [49]

A. 0.77 A

Using the relationship:

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

where P is the power, V is the voltage, and R the resistance, we can find the resistance of each bulb.

For the first light bulb, P = 60 W and V = 120 V, so the resistance is

$R_1=\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{60 W}=240 \Omega$

For the second light bulb, P = 200 W and V = 120 V, so the resistance is

$R_1=\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{200 W}=72 \Omega$

The two light bulbs are connected in series, so their equivalent resistance is

$R=R_1 + R_2 = 240 \Omega + 72 \Omega =312 \Omega$

The two light bulbs are connected to a voltage of

V = 240 V

So we can find the current through the two bulbs by using Ohm's law:

$I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{240 V}{312 \Omega}=0.77 A$

B. 142.3 W

The power dissipated in the first bulb is given by:

$P_1=I^2 R_1$

where

I = 0.77 A is the current

$R_1 = 240 \Omega$ is the resistance of the bulb

Substituting numbers, we get

$P_1 = (0.77 A)^2 (240 \Omega)=142.3 W$

C. 42.7 W

The power dissipated in the second bulb is given by:

$P_2=I^2 R_2$

where

I = 0.77 A is the current

$R_2 = 72 \Omega$ is the resistance of the bulb

Substituting numbers, we get

$P_2 = (0.77 A)^2 (72 \Omega)=42.7 W$

D. The 60-W bulb burns out very quickly

The power dissipated by the resistance of each light bulb is equal to:

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where

E is the amount of energy dissipated

t is the time interval

From part B and C we see that the 60 W bulb dissipates more power (142.3 W) than the 200-W bulb (42.7 W). This means that the first bulb dissipates energy faster than the second bulb, so it also burns out faster.
