Chapter 28 Problems 1, 2, 3 = straightforward, intermediate, challenging Section 28.1 Electromotive Force 1. A battery has an emf of 15.0 V. The terminal voltage of the battery is 11.6 V when it is delivering 20.0 W of power to an external load resistor R. (a) What is the value of R? (b) What is the internal resistance of the battery? 2. (a) What is the current in a 5.60-Ω resistor connected to a battery that has a 0.200-Ω internal resistance if the terminal voltage of the battery is 10.0 V? (b) What is the emf of the battery? 3. Two 1.50-V batteries—with their positive terminals in the same direction—are inserted in series into the barrel of a flashlight. One battery has an internal resistance of 0.255 Ω, the other an internal resistance of 0.153 Ω. When the switch is closed, a current of 600 mA occurs in the lamp. (a) What is the lamp’s resistance? (b) What fraction of the chemical energy transformed appears as internal energy in the batteries? 4. An automobile battery has an emf of 12.6 V and an internal resistance of 0.080 0 Ω. The headlights together present equivalent resistance 5.00 Ω (assumed constant). What is the potential difference across the headlight bulbs (a) when they are the only load on the battery and (b) when the starter motor is operated, taking an additional 35.0 A from the battery? Section 28.2 Resistors in Series and Parallel 5. The current in a loop circuit that has a resistance of R1 is 2.00 A. The current is reduced to 1.60 A when an additional resistor R2 = 3.00 Ω is added in series with R1. What is the value of R1? 6. (a) Find the equivalent resistance between points a and b in Figure P28.6. (b) A potential difference of 34.0 V is applied between points a and b. Calculate the current in each resistor. Figure P28.6 7. A lightbulb marked “75 W [at] 120 V” is screwed into a socket at one end of a long extension cord, in which each of the two conductors has resistance 0.800 Ω. The other end of the ext
