Answer:

a. 165.5 V

b. 7.78 A

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

The RMS potential difference of an AC household outlet is 117 V. a) What is the maximum potential difference across a lamp connected to the outlet? b) If the RMS current through the lamp is 5.5 A, what is the maximun current through the lamp.

Solution

a. The maximum potential difference across the lamp V₀ = √2V₁ where V₁ = rms value of potential difference = 117 V

V₀ = √2V₁ = √2 × 117 V = 165.5 V

b. The maximum current through the lamp I₀ = √2I₁ where I₁ = rms value of current = 5.5 A

V₀ = √2V₁ = √2 × 5.5 A = 7.78 A

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

1.2 amps :)

Explanation:

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?

         Known:

  • R = 10.0 Ω                            
  • V = 12.0 V

       Unknown:

  • I = ???

I = V/R

= 12.0 V / 10.0 Ω

= 1.2 amps

Do houses use parallels or series circuits
Vilka [71]

Every electrical outlet in your house, and every device or appliance that's
plugged into an outlet, are all in parallel.  It's also most likely that all of yours
are in parallel with all the outlets, devices, and appliances in the homes or
apartments of a few of your neighbors.

The only things in your home that are connected in series are the switches
that turn things on and off.

A 1.5-kg block slides at rest starts sliding down a snow-covered hill Point A, which has an altitude of 10 m. There is no fricti
damaskus [11]

Answer:

the speed of the block when it reaches point B is 14 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of the block slides = 1.5 - kg

height = 10 m

Force constant  = 200 N/m

distance of rough surface patch = 20 m

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.15

In order to determine the speed of the block when it reaches point B.

We consider the equation for the energy conservation in the system which can be represented by:

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh

\dfrac{1}{2}v^2=gh

v^2=2 \times g \times   h

v^2=2 \times 9.8 \times   10

v=\sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times   10

v=\sqrt{196

v = 14 m/s

Thus; the speed of the block when it reaches point B is 14 m/s
