3.)
Resistance R = 580 ohm
potential difference V = 120 V
Therefore, current
I = V/R = 120/580 = 0.207 == 0.21 A --Answer
13.)
current I = 1200 A
potential difference, V = 1.6*10^(-2) V
length, L = 0.24 m
resistivity or specific resistance of copper, rho = 1.682 * 10^(-8) ohm.m
Because, resistance R = V/I = 1.6*10^(-2)/1200 = 1.33*10^(-5) ohm
Because,
R = rho*L/A
=> area of cross-section A = rho*L/R = 1.682 * 10^(-8)*0.24/1.33*10^(-5) = 3.0276*10^(-4) m^2
A = pi*r^2
=> radius, r = sqrt(A/pi) = sqrt(3.0276*10^(-4)/3.14) = 9.9*10^(-3) m --Answer
25.)
voltage V = 120 V
current in dryer, Id = 11.0 A
current in vacuum tube, Iv = 4.0 A
a.) Power consumed by dryer,
Pd = V*Id = 120*11.0 = 1320.00 W --Answer
b.)
Power consumed by vacuum cleaner,
Pv = V*Iv = 120*4.0 = 480.00 w --Answer
c.)
Energy by dryer in 15 min/energy by Vacuum cleaner in half hr = ...

- " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
