- Multiple Choice
An AC source operates with a 0.05 s period. 0.025 s after the current is at a maximum, the current is measured to be 1.4 A. What is the RMS current of this AC circuit?
- Multiple ChoiceA person touches a wire carrying a 120V AC voltage. One hand touches the wire, and both of the person's feet are bare and are touching the ground. Assume skin resistance at the hand and at each foot is . What is the current through the person's torso?
- Open QuestionYou have a special light bulb with a very delicate wire filament. The wire will break if the current in it ever exceeds 1.50 A, even for an instant. What is the largest root-mean-square current you can run through this bulb?
- Open QuestionOff to Europe! You plan to take your hair dryer to Europe, where the electrical outlets put out 240 V instead of the 120 V seen in the United States. The dryer puts out 1600 W at 120 V. (a) What could you do to operate your dryer via the 240-V line in Europe?
- Open QuestionOff to Europe! You plan to take your hair dryer to Europe, where the electrical outlets put out 240 V instead of the 120 V seen in the United States. The dryer puts out 1600 W at 120 V. (b) What current will your dryer draw from a European outlet? (c) What resistance will your dryer appear to have when operated at 240 V?
- Open QuestionA Step-Down Transformer. A transformer connected to a 120-V (rms) ac line is to supply 12.0 V (rms) to a portable electronic device. The load resistance in the secondary is 5.00 Ω. (a) What should the ratio of primary to secondary turns of the transformer be?
