25. Critical Thinking We say that power is “dissipated” in a resistor. To dissipate is to spread out or disperse. In what
sense is something being dispersed when charge flows through a resistor?

potential energy is used to produce heat in the resistor.

35. MAIN IDEA A car engine drives a generator, which transfers electrical energy to the car’s battery. The
headlamps use the energy stored in the car battery to produce light. List the forms of energy in these three
operations.
SOLUTION:
Mechanical energy from the engine transforms to electric energy in the generator; electric energy
stored as chemical energy in the battery; chemical energy transformed to electric energy in the battery
and distributed to the headlamps; electric energy transformed to light and thermal energy in headlamps.
36. Resistance A hair dryer operating from 120 V has two settings, hot and warm. In which setting is the resistance
likely to be smaller? Why?
SOLUTION:
Hot draws more power, P = IV, so the fixed voltage current is larger. Because I = V/R the resistance is
smaller.
37. Efficiency Evaluate the impact of research to improve power transmission lines on society and the environment.
SOLUTION:
Research to improve power transmission lines would benefit society in cost of electricity. Also, if less
power was lost during transmission, less coal and other power-producing resources would have to be
used, which would improve the quality of our environment.
38. Voltage Why would an electric range and an electric hot-water heater be connected to a 240-V circuit rather than
a 120-V circuit?
SOLUTION:
For the same power, at twice the voltage, the current would be halved. The I2R loss in the circuit wiring
would be dramatically reduced because it is proportional to the square of the current.

73. If a heavy copper wire is used to connect one terminal of a battery directly to the other terminal of that same
battery, the temperature of the copper wire rises rapidly. Why does this happen?

The copper wire has very little resistance, which results in a high current. This causes more electrons
to collide with the atoms of the wire. This raises the atoms’ kinetic energies and the temperature of the
wire.

No. Graphically, total change times final potential difference is exactly twice the area under the curve.

110. A person burns energy at the rate of about 8.4×10 J per day. How much does she increase the entropy of the
universe in that day? How does this compare to the entropy increase caused by melting 20 kg of ice?
SOLUTION:
ΔS = Q/T where T is the body temperature of 310 K.
6
ΔS = (8.4×10 J)/(310 K)
= 2.7×104 J/K
For melting ice
5
ΔS = (20 kg)(3.34×10 J/kg)/(273 K)
= 2.4 × 104 J/K
111. When you go up the elevator of a tall building, your ears might pop because of the rapid change in pressure. What is
the pressure change caused by riding in an elevator up a 30-story building (150 m)? The density of air is about
3
1.3 kg/m at sea level.
SOLUTION:
ΔP = ρgh
= (1.3 kg/m3)(9.8 N/kg)(150 m)
= 1.9 kPa or about 2/100 of the total air pressure
112. What is the wavelength in air of a 17-kHz sound wave, which is at the upper end of the frequency range of human
hearing?
SOLUTION:
= 0.020 m
= 2.0 cm
113. Light of wavelength 478 nm falls on a double slit. First-order bright bands appear 3.00 mm from the central bright
band. The screen is 0.91 m from the slits. How far apart are the slits?
