A "120-watt" lightbulb uses an average power of 120 W when connected to an rms voltage of 120 V.
What is the resistance of the lightbulb?
What is the maximum current in the bulb?
What is the maximum power used by the bulb at any given instant of time?
power P=120 W
voltage V_rms=120 V
Vmax=V_rms*sqrt(2)
=120*1.414
=169.7
a)
P=V_rms^2/R
120=120^2/R
=====>
resistance R=120 ohm
b)
current i_rms=V_rms/R
=120/120
=1 A
maximum current, imax=i_rms*sqrt(2)
=1.414A
c)
Pmax=Vmax*imax
=169.7*1.414
=240 W

If a 120 V (rms) AC power supply is connected to a 200 W motor. a)Calculate and explain whether or not the rms current of the circuit will be the same if the system is connected to a 14.0Ω resistor. (I need a clear explanation in b)) b)Calculate and explain whether or not the rms voltage drop across the motor is the same when there is no resistor, but the internal resistance of the wires of the circuit is 14.0Ω.
Lightbulb A is marked "40 W 120 V", and lightbulb B is marked "75 W 120 V". These labels mean that each lightbulb has its respective power delivered to it when it is connected to a constant 120-V source. (a) Find the resistance of each lightbulb. R(40 W 120 V) = Ω R(75 W 120 V) = Ω (b) During what time interval does 2.30 C pass into lightbulb A? Δt = s (d) In what time interval does 3.00...
