1. The filament of a standard 100-W light bulb has a resistance of about 100 ohms. For this laboratory the glass of the light bulb is unfrosted, so that the filament can be viewed directly. The light bulb is connected to a variable AC voltage source (a Variac), which can deliver up to 140 volts AC. When the voltage is low, about 20 volts, the filament is a dull, red color. When the voltage is high, 100 V, how does...

In this tutorial you will analyse a solar powered Christmas tree. The tree has a solar panel at the top, a battery at the base, and bulb string lights around it. The bulb string lights are made from 4 parallel strings with 8 light bulbs in series each. Each light bulb has a nominal resistance of 8 2. The resistance of the wiring is negligible. The battery is charged during the day to keep the bulb string lights shining at...
