The wattage marked on a lightbulb is not an inherent property of the bulb, but depends on the voltage to which it is connected, usually 110 or 120 V. How many amperes flow through a 60-W bulb connected in a 120-V circuit?
The equivalent capacitance of the circuit shown below is
when a voltage source was connected to the circuit, the total capacitance obtained a charge of 100 C. How much energy was stored in the circuit?
