Questions
5 questions on electric circuits. Each opens in the question browser with its memo.
Three identical bulbs X, Y, Z connected to a battery with voltmeters and ammeters. Compare brightness, identify ammeter readings with switch open and closed, analyze effects when bulb Y burns.
Three resistors in a circuit with 12 V battery having internal resistance r. Given voltmeter readings, calculate ammeter current, resistor R value, and internal resistance.
A battery with 0.5 Ω internal resistance and unknown EMF powers a circuit with resistors and a voltmeter. With 0.5 A through an 8 Ω resistor and 12 W in resistor R, calculate currents and battery EMF.
A circuit containing resistors and a bulb is powered by a 12 V battery with internal resistance. Using a voltmeter reading of 4.8 V, calculate the internal resistance, parallel resistance, current, power dissipated by the bulb, and how brightness changes when the switch opens.
