17.1 Batteries and Direct Current
1, 2, 7, 9
17.2 Current and Drift Velocity
11, 12, 13, 14, 19
13: I = q/t solve for t
14: a. I = q/t b. E = DU = qDV
19: a. q = It. Then convert q into number of protons. Remember that each proton has a charge of 1.6 x 10-19C.
b. P = W/t = (# of protons x KE (in eV’s) x 1.6 x 10-19J/ev) / t
17.3 Resistance and Ohm’s Law
20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 32, 37, 40, 42, 46, 48
21: Realize that a perfect ohmic resistor means that it is NOT affected by temp. In the real world, however, there are no perfect ohmic resistors.
25: a. R = rL/A b. A = pd2/4. Therefore, half the diameter means 1/4 the area. So, R increases by 4 times and therefore I will decrease by 1/4.
37: R = Ro (1+aDT). Remember that R = rL/A. You’ll need table 17.1 p. 550.
40: water boils at 100oC
42: R = rL/A solve for L. A = pd2/4
48: first find the initial current (Io) then, use I = V/Ro(1+aDT) to determine second current (I). Subtract I – Io to determine DI.

Mr. Young Questions about Traveling
and Electricity (Yes, you must answer
these too) Don’t peek at the answers until you have tried them!
Young1 = Europe has 240 V coming out of their electric sockets and we have 120 V, who needs more current to run appliances? USA or EU?
Young2 = If you want to plug your 1200 W hair dryer into an outlet in Europe, you know that you need to buy a “converter” before you go “over the pond”. Does this converter effectively increase or decrease the resistance in your hair dryer? (Hint: P = V2/R).
Young3 = Consider the question posed by Young2. What multiple would the resistance change in Europe for your hair dryer? (Hint: USA has 120 V and Europe has 240 V – Europe supplies 2 times the voltage as the US. Hint #2: P = V2/R). If you still need help, let us assume you have resistance (R ) in the USA. What would the effective resistance be in Europe when you hook up your converter: 2R? 4 R? 1/2 R? 1/4 R?…..etc.
50: P = V2/R
51: P = I2R
53: P = V2/R. Higher bulb has smaller resistance so it is thicker.
65: a. E = Pt = Ivt
70: a. I = P/V b. Q = cmDT where c = specific heat of water = 4190 J/kgoC. Water has a mass of 3.785 kg/gal
Answers:
2: d
12: 0.25 A
14: a. 0.30 C b. 0.90 J
20: a
22: The one with the smaller slope
32: 75 V
40: 0.429W
42: 105 m
46: a. yes b. 2.0W
48: a decrease of 0.27 A
50: b
52: Power output would quadruple and it would overheat (see young questions)
56: 144 W
58: 1.2 W
60: a. 0.40 A b. 2.4 W
70: a. at least a 30 amp breaker b. 3.1 hours
Young1 = USA draws more current. Remember P = VI. So, if V is low (as it is in the USA, then I must compensate so that the 1200 watt hair dryer can operate)
Young2 = The effective resistance must increase. Realize that V = IR. So, in the US with 120 V, you need a resistance R and you get a current I. But, if V increases, your hair dryer can only take a current I running through its wires. Therefore, you must increase the Resistance when the new 240 volts is applied.
Young3= P = V2/R. So, if V doubles, to 2V, (2V)2 = 4V2. That means that R must increase by a factor of 4. WOW, how cool! I © math, don’t you?
