Question

Part A

Light bulbs are typically rated by their power dissipation when operated at a given voltage.

Which of the following light bulbs has the largest resistance when operated at the voltage for which it's rated?

A. 6.4 W , 12 V

B. 48 W , 24 V

C. 32 W , 36 V

D. 64 W , 48 V

Part B

Light bulbs are typically rated by their power dissipation when operated at a given voltage.

Which of the following light bulbs has the largest current through it when operated at the voltage for which it's rated?

A. 4.0 W , 7.5 V

B. 30 W , 15 V

C. 20 W , 23 V

D. 40 W , 30 V

Part C

A + 7.4 nC point charge and a - 2.9 nC point charge are 3.4 cm apart. What is the electric field strength at the midpoint between the two charges?

A. 1.6×105 N/C

B. 2100 N/C

C. 6400 N/C

D. 3.2×105 N/C

Part D

The main difference between conductors and insulators is in terms of

A. protons. B. neutrons. C, conduction electrons. D. atoms. E. None of the other choices is correct

Explanation / Answer

C.

electric field is given by:

E = k*q/r^2

Enet = E1 + E2

Enet = k*q1/r1^2 + k*q2/r2^2

Enet = 9*10^9*(7.4*10^-9/0.017^2 + 2.9*10^-9/0.017^2)

Enet = 320761 N/C = 3.2*10^5 N/C

Correct option is D.

4.

difference between conductors and insulators is that conductors have conduction electrons.

Correct option is C.
