Question

A typical home circuit is diagrammed in figure 23-16. Notethat the lead lines to the kitchen lamp each has a very lowresistance of 0.25 . The lamp has a resistance of 240.0. Although the circuit is a parallel circuit, the leadlines are in series with each of the components of the circuit.
a) Compute the equivalent resistance of the circuit consistingof just the light and the lead lines to and from the light. b) Find the current to the bulb. c) Find the power dissipated in the bulb. d) Because the current in the bulb is 0.50 A, the current inthe lead lines also must be 0.50 A. Calculate the voltagedrop across each of the two leads.
