$400 Question fromOhms and
Ohmer To
After a long day at school, you finally get to sit home
and relax. You turn on your 120 Volt Nintendo that
uses a current of 10 amps and your television that has
a potential difference of 42, with 0.5 amps. Suddenly,
you realize your living room circuit breaker will
power off if you have more than 95 Ohms of
resistance.
Will your Circuit breaker power off? Why or why
not?
Main
Board
Answer
$400 Answer fromOhms and Ohmer
To
120 V/10 A = 12 Ω Nintendo
42 V/0.5 A = 84Ω TV
96 Ω Total.
Yes it will turn off, too much resistance!

Answer
$500 Answer from Wattcrawler
26W/10V = 2.6A
14W/10V=1.4A
94W/10V=9.4A
10V/2.6A=3.85Ω
10V/1.4A=7.14 Ω
10V/9.4A=1.06Ω
HOWEVER TOTAL Ω = TOTAL V / TOTAL A
10V/13.4A = .75 Ω

Final Jeopardy
A clothes dryer in a home has a power of 4,500 watts
and runs on a special 220-volt household circuit
– What is the current through the dryer?
– What is the resistance of the dryer?
– How many kilowatts are used by the dryer?
– How many kilowatt hours of electricity are used by the
dryer if it used for 4 hours in one week?
– If your town charges $0.15/kWh, what is the cost to use the
clothes dryer for a month? (If there are four weeks in a
month)
Main
Board
Answer
Final Jeopardy Answer
A=4500W/220V = 20.45A
Ω = 220V/20.45A = 10.76 Ω
4500W = 4.5kW
4.5kW x 4 hours = 18 kWh
52 Weeks in a year – 52 x 18 kWh x $0.15 = 140.40
