1. A series circuit consists of 10,000, 20,000, and 30,000 ohm resistors connected in series across a 10-volt battery. Determine the current in the circuit?

Solution:
Total resistance R = 10000 + 20000 + 30000 = 60000
Current in the circuit = V/R = 10/60000 = 1.67 x 10-4

2. Determine the propulsion force between two electric charges of 3 x and 7 x separated by a distance of 2 meters. (k=9,000,000,000

Solution:

K = 9,000,000,000

F = ((9,000,000,000)*(3 x 10^-3)*(7 x 10^-3))/2^2 = 47,250 Newtons

3. Determine the power consumed by a light bulb ...
