Question

Energy may be measured in:

A cylindrical copper rod has resistance R. It is reformed to half of its original length with no change of volume. Its new resistance is:

A 60 watt light bulb carries a current of 0.5A. The total energy consumed in ten hours is:

Two 110-V light bulbs, one 25W and the other 100W are connected in series to a 110W source. Then:

Four 20 ohm resistors are connected in parallel and the combination is connected to a 20 V emf device. The current in any one of the resistors is:

please show work if not numerical just explain reasoning behind answer thank you

Explanation / Answer

1) electron volts

2) V1 = V2
A1 * L1 = A2 * L2
   A2/A1 = L1/L2 = 2
   R2/R1 = (L2/L1)*(A1/A2) = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4
   Thus, final resistance = R/4

3) Energy consumed = 60/1000 * 10 = 0.6 kWh

4) current will be the same in both, one with higher voltage will grow brighter/
   Thus, none of the above is correct option

5) Total resistance = 20/4 = 5 ohm

   Total current = 20/5 = 4 A
   Current in each resistor = 4/4 = 1.0 A
