Light bulbs-which one burned out and why

Reference no: EM13656268

You have two 120V light bulbs, one 25W and one 100W, that are normally connected in parallel with 120V across each. Your friend had what seemed like a good idea which was to connect them in series across a 240V power line. However, one of them burned out immediately. Which one burned out and why? Explain in 100 words or less

What is wavelength of electron that comes out of aluminum : An electron decays from the n = 4 orbit to the n = 1 orbit in the hydrogen atom. If the work function of aluminum is 4.3 eV, does the ensuing photon have enough energy to knock an electron out of aluminum? If so what is the wavelength of the electr..

Coefficient of static friction between the block and cart : A block is placed against the vertical front of a cart. What acceleration must the cart have so that ablock A does not fall?

How much power does this air conditioner draw : An air conditioner draws 12 A at 220 V ac. The connecting cord is copper wire with a diameter of 1.450 mm. how much power does this air conditioner draw? If the total length of wire is 18 m, how much power is dissipated in the wiring?

Charged particle moves through space with constant velocity : A charged particle moves through space with constant velocity (magnitude and direction). If the external magentic field is zero in this region, you can conclude that the external electric field in this region is also zero.

What the angle between the current direction and due north : At a certain location, Earth's magnetic field of 53 µT is horizontal and directed due north. Suppose the net field is zero exactly 7.5 cm above a long, straight, horizontal wire that carries a constant current. What is (a) the magnitude of the curren..

Balanced on a massless seesaw problem : A boy and a girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. The boy has a mass of 75 kg and the girls mass is 50 kg. If the boy sits 2.0 meters from the pivot point on one side of the seesaw, where must the girl sit on the other side?

Solar mass black hole at the center of the galaxy : The 5*10^6 solar mass black hole at the center of the galaxy may have gained its first million solar masses in the first billion years of the milky ways existence. How much mass must it have absorbed on average each year since then to reach 5 million..

Maximum of reflection with normally incident red light : A transparent oil with index of refraction 1.29 spills on the surface of water (index of refraction 1.33), producing a maximum of reflection with normally incident red light (wavelength 700 nm in air). Assuming the maximum occurs in the first orde..
