Two arrangements of a battery, bulb, and wire are shown. Which of the two arrangements, if either, will light the bulb? Explain.
Which of two arrangements will light the bulb.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The bulb will light in arrangement
Explanation of Solution
To light the bulb, the circuit need to be closed. If the circuit is not closed, there will be no current and the bulb will not light.
In the arrangement
In the arrangement
Conclusion:
The bulb will light in arrangement

- An ideal voltmeter connected across a certain fresh 9-V battery reads 9.30 V, and an ideal ammeter briefly connected across the same battery reads 3.70 A. We say the battery has an open-circuit voltage of 9.30 V and a short-circuit current of 3.70 A. Model the battery as a source of emf in series with an internal resistance r as in Figure 27.1a. Determine both (a) and (b) r. An experimenter connects two of these identical batteries together as shown in Figure P27.45. Find (c) the open-circuit voltage and (d) the short-circuit current of the pair of connected batteries. (e) The experimenter connects a 12.0- resistor between the exposed terminals of the connected batteries. Find the current in the resistor. (f) Find the power delivered to the resistor. (g) The experimenter connects a second identical resistor in parallel with the first. Find the power delivered to each resistor. (h) Because the same pair of batteries is connected across both resistors as was connected across the single resistor, why is the power in part (g) not the same as that in part (f)?

Barrow_forwardQuestion 5: A 1.5 V D-Battery Suppose you buy a 1.5-volt D-battery at a store. As we have seen, the terminal voltage of this battery will vary depending on the current drawn from it. So just what does the 1.5 volt represent? Before answering this question take a look at a new D-battery.
