Assignment 7

1. An energy source forces a constant current of 2 A for 10 s to flow through a light bulb. If 2.3
kJ is given off in the form of light and heat energy, calculate the voltage drop across the bulb.

2. The current at the terminals of an element is defined as:

0 t 0
i 5000t
20e A t 0
and the voltage at the terminals of the element is:
0 t 0
v(t ) 5000t
10e kV t 0

a) Calculate the power supplied to the element at 1 ms.

b) Calculate the total energy (in joules) delivered to the circuit element.

3. A rechargeable flashlight battery is capable of delivering 85 mA for about 12 h. How much

charge can it release at that rate? If its terminal voltage is 1.2 V, how much energy can the
battery deliver?
4. If the current flowing through an element is given by

5. The charge entering the positive terminal of an element is

while the voltage across the element (plus to minus) is

interconnections in Fig. 1 are permissible and which violate the constraints imposed by the ideal
sources.

interconnections in Fig. 2 are valid and which violate the constraints imposed by the ideal
sources.

10. Figure 3 shows the current through and the voltage across a device. (a) Sketch the power
delivered to the device for t > 0. (b) Find the total energy absorbed by the device for the period of
0< t < 4s.

13. A 60-W, incandescent bulb operates at 120 V. How many electrons and coulombs flow
through the bulb in one day?

14. A lightning bolt carried a current of 2 kA and lasted for 3 ms. How many coulombs of charge
were contained in the lightning bolt?

15. Figure 5 shows the power consumption of a certain household in one day. Calculate: (a) the
total energy consumed in kWh, (b) the average power per hour.
