⊲ Problem 3.28<br />

A 25-W light bulb is connected in series with a 100-W light bulb and<br />

a voltage V is placed across the combination. Which bulb is brighter?<br />

Explain.<br />

⊲ Problem 3.29<br />

An electric heater is rated at 1500W, a toaster at 750W, and an electric<br />

grill at 1000W. The three appliances are connected to a common 120V<br />

circuit. How much current does each draw? Is a 25A circuit sufficient<br />

in this situation?<br />

⊲ Problem 3.30<br />

An 8-foot extension cord has two 18-gauge copper wires, each having<br />

a diamter of 1.024mm. How much power does this cord dissipate when<br />

carrying a current of 1.0A? How much power does this cord dissipate<br />

when carrying a current of 10A?
