1 Chapter 8 Solutions 8.1 (a) P ( V) R becomes 0.0 W (11.6 V) R so R 6.73 Ω (b) V IR so 11.6 V I (6.73 Ω) and I 1.7 A ε IR + Ir so 15.0 V 11.6 V + (1.7 A)r r 1.97 Ω Figure for Goal Solution Goal Solution A battery has an emf of 15.0 V. The terminal voltage of the battery is 11.6 V when it is delivering 0.0 W of power to an external load resistor R. (a) What is the value of R? (b) What is the internal resistance of the battery? G : O : The internal resistance of a battery usually is less than 1 Ω, with physically larger batteries having less resistance due to the larger anode and cathode areas. The voltage of this battery drops significantly (3%), when the load resistance is added, so a sizable amount of current must be drawn from the battery. If we assume that the internal resistance is about 1 Ω, then the current must be about 3 A to give the 3.4 V drop across the battery s internal resistance. If this is true, then the load resistance must be about R 1 V / 3 A 4 Ω. We can find R exactly by using Joule s law for the power delivered to the load resistor when the voltage is 11.6 V. Then we can find the internal resistance of the battery by summing the electric potential differences around the circuit. A : (a) Combining Joule's law, P VI, and the definition of resistance, V IR, gives R V P ( 11.6 V) 0.0 W 6.73 Ω (b) The electromotive force of the battery must equal the voltage drops across the resistances: ε IR + Ir, where I VR. r ε IR I ε ( V)R (15.0 V 11.6 V)(6.73 Ω) 1.97 Ω V 11.6 V L : The resistance of the battery is larger than 1 Ω, but it is reasonable for an old battery or for a battery consisting of several small electric cells in series. The load resistance agrees reasonably well with our prediction, despite the fact that the battery s internal resistance was about twice as large as we assumed. Note that in our initial guess we did not consider the power of the load resistance; however, there is not sufficient information to accurately solve this problem without this data.

Then, I 1 I A, and ε I 1 r I R 0 so giving Thus, ε (I A)( Ω) + I (5.00 Ω) 1.6 V I 1.93 A V (1.93 A)(5.00 Ω) 9.65 V 8.5 V I 1 R 1 (.00 A)R 1 and V I (R 1 + R ) (1.60 A)(R Ω) Therefore, (.00 A)R 1 (1.60 A)(R Ω) or R Ω

4 Chapter 8 Solutions If we turn the given diagram on its side, we find that it is the same as Figure (a). The 0.0-Ω and 5.00-Ω resistors are in series, so the first reduction is as shown in (b). In addition, since the 10.0-Ω, 5.00-Ω, and 5.0-Ω resistors are then in parallel, we can solve for their equivalent resistance as: R eq 1 ( ).94 Ω Ω 5.00 Ω 5.0 Ω This is shown in Figure (c), which in turn reduces to the circuit shown in (d). Next, we work backwards through the diagrams applying I V/R and V IR. The 1.94-Ω resistor is connected across 5.0-V, so the current through the battery in every diagram is I V R 5.0 V 1.94 Ω 1.93 A (a) In Figure (c), this 1.93 A goes through the.94-ω equivalent resistor to give a potential difference of: V IR (1.93 A)(.94 Ω) 5.68 V From Figure (b), we see that this potential difference is the same across V ab, the 10-Ω resistor, and the 5.00-Ω resistor. (b) (b) Therefore, V ab 5.68 V (a) Since the current through the 0.0-Ω resistor is also the current through the 5.0-Ω line ab, I V ab R ab 5.68 V 5.0 Ω 0.7 A 7 ma (c) (d) ( 10 V) V IR eq I ρl + ρl + ρl + ρl, or Iρl A 1 A A 3 A A 1 A A 3 A 4 V Iρl A ( 10 V) 1 A V A 1 A A 3 A 4

In this case a large resistor is wired in series with the galvanometer in a way similar to that shown in Figure P8.4b This arrangement, in effect, limits the current that flows through the galvanometer when large voltages are applied. Most of the potential drop occurs across the resistor placed in series. Calculate the value of the resistor that enables the galvanometer to measure an applied voltage of 5.0 V at full-scale deflection. G : O : The problem states that the value of the resistor must be large in order to limit the current through the galvanometer, so we should expect a resistance of kω to MΩ. The unknown resistance can be found by applying the definition of resistance to the portion of the circuit shown in Figure 8.4b. A : V ab 5.0 V; From Problem 38, I 1.50 ma and R g 75.0 Ω. For the two resistors in series, R eq R s + R g so the definition of resistance gives us: V ab I(R s + R g ) Therefore, R s V ab I 5.0 V R g Ω16.6 kω A L : The resistance is relatively large, as expected. It is important to note that some caution would be necessary if this arrangement were used to measure the voltage across a circuit with a comparable resistance. For example, if the circuit resistance was 17 kω, the voltmeter in this problem would cause a measurement inaccuracy of about 50%, because the meter would divert about half the current that normally would go through the resistor being measured. Problems 46 and 59 address a similar concern about measurement error when using electrical meters.

16 Chapter 8 Solutions We will use the values required for the 1.00-V voltmeter to obtain the internal resistance of the galvanometer. V I g (R + r g ) Solve for r g : r g V I g R 1.00 V A 900 Ω 100 Ω We then obtain the series resistance required for the 50.0-V voltmeter: R V I g r g 50.0 V A 100 Ω 49.9 kω 8.41 V I g r g ( I I g )R p, or R p I g r g I I g ( ) ( ) I g 60.0 Ω ( I I g ) Therefore, to have I A 100 ma when I g ma: ma R p ( ) 60.0 Ω 99.5 ma ( ) 0.30 Ω Figure for Goal Solution Goal Solution Assume that a galvanometer has an internal resistance of 60.0 Ω and requires a current of ma to produce full-scale deflection. What resistance must be connected in parallel with the galvanometer if the combination is to serve as an ammeter that has a full-scale deflection for a current of A? G : O : A : An ammeter reads the flow of current in a portion of a circuit; therefore it must have a low resistance so that it does not significantly alter the current that would exist without the meter. Therefore, the resistance required is probably less than 1 Ω. From the values given for a full-scale reading, we can find the voltage across and the current through the shunt (parallel) resistor, and the resistance value can then be found from the definition of resistance. The voltage across the galvanometer must be the same as the voltage across the shunt resistor in parallel, so when the ammeter reads full scale, V ( ma) ( 60.0 Ω) 30.0 mv Through the shunt resistor, I 100 ma ma 99.5 ma Therefore, R V I 30.0 mv 99.5 ma 0.30 Ω L : The shunt resistance is less than 1 Ω as expected. It is important to note that some caution would be necessary if this meter were used in a circuit that had a low resistance. For example, if the circuit resistance was 3 Ω, adding the ammeter to the circuit would reduce the current by about 10%, so the current displayed by the meter would be lower than without the meter. Problems 46 and 59 address a similar concern about measurement error when using electrical meters.

A variable resistor R is connected across the terminals of the battery. Determine the value of R such that (a) the potential difference across the terminals is a maximum, (b) the current in the circuit is a maximum, (c) the power delivered to the resistor is a maximum. G : O : If we consider the limiting cases, we can imagine that the potential across the battery will be a maximum when R (open circuit), the current will be a maximum when R 0 (short circuit), and the power will be a maximum when R is somewhere between these two extremes, perhaps when R r. We can use the definition of resistance to find the voltage and current as functions of R, and the power equation can be differentiated with respect to R. A : (a) The battery has a voltage V terminal ε Ir εr R + r (b) The circuit's current is I ε R + r or as R, V terminal ε or as R 0, I ε r (c) The power delivered is P I R ε R (R + r) To maximize the power P as a function of R, we differentiate with respect to R, and require that dp /dr 0 Then R R + r and R r dp dr ε R( )(R + r) 3 + ε (R + r) ε R (R + r) 3 + ε (R + r) 0 L : The results agree with our predictions. Making load resistance equal to the source resistance to maximize power transfer is called impedance matching.

24 Chapter 8 Solutions 157 Goal Solution The value of a resistor R is to be determined using the ammeter-voltmeter setup shown in Figure P8.59. The ammeter has a resistance of Ω, and the voltmeter has a resistance of 0000 Ω. Within what range of actual values of R will the measured values be correct to within 5.00% if the measurement is made using (a) the circuit shown in Figure P8.59a (b) the circuit shown in Figure P8.59b? G : An ideal ammeter has zero resistance, and an ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance, so that adding the meter does not alter the current or voltage of the existing circuit. For the non-ideal meters in this problem, a low values of R will give a large voltage measurement error in circuit (b), while a large value of R will give significant current measurement error in circuit (a). We could hope that these meters yield accurate measurements in either circuit for typical resistance values of 1 Ω to 1 MΩ. O : The definition of resistance can be applied to each circuit to find the minimum and maximum current and voltage allowed within the 5.00% tolerance range. A : (a) In Figure P8.59a, at least a little current goes through the voltmeter, so less current flows through the resistor than the ammeter reports, and the resistance computed by dividing the voltage by the inflated ammeter reading will be too small. Thus, we require that V/ I 0.950R where I is the current through the ammeter. Call I R the current through the resistor; then I I R is the current in the voltmeter. Since the resistor and the voltmeter are in parallel, the voltage across the meter equals the voltage across the resistor. Applying the definition of resistance: Our requirement is V I R R ( I I R )( 0000 Ω) so I I R (R Ω) I R R 0.95R I R (R Ω) 0000 Ω 0000 Ω Solving, 0000 Ω 0.95(R Ω)0.95R Ω and R 1000 Ω or R 1.05 kω 0.95 (b) If R is too small, the resistance of an ammeter in series will significantly reduce the current that would otherwise flow through R. In Figure 8.59b, the voltmeter reading is I( Ω)+ IR, at least a little larger than the voltage across the resistor. So the resistance computed by dividing the inflated voltmeter reading by the ammeter reading will be too large. We require V I 1.05R so that I (0.500 Ω) + IR 1.05R I Thus, Ω R and R 10.0 Ω L : The range of R values seems correct since the ammeter s resistance should be less than 5% of the smallest R value ( Ω 0.05R means that R should be greater than 10 Ω), and R should be less than 5% of the voltmeter s internal resistance ( R kω1 kω ). Only for the restricted range between 10 ohms and 1000 ohms can we indifferently use either of the connections (a) and (b) for a reasonably accurate resistance measurement. For low values of the resistance R, circuit (a) must be used. Only circuit (b) can accurately measure a large value of R.

28 Chapter 8 Solutions (a) After steady-state conditions have been reached, there is no DC current through the capacitor. Thus, for R 3 : I R3 0 (steady-state) For the other two resistors, the steady-state current is simply determined by the 9.00-V emf across the 1-k Ω and 15-k Ω resistors in series: ε For R 1 and R : I (R1 +R ) 9.00 V 333 µa (steady-state) R 1 + R (1.0 kω+15.0 kω) (b) After the transient currents have ceased, the potential difference across C is the same as the potential difference across R ( IR ) because there is no voltage drop across R 3. Therefore, the charge Q on C is Q C ( V) R C (IR ) (10.0 µf)(333 µa)(15.0 k Ω) 50.0 µc (c) When the switch is opened, the branch containing R 1 is no longer part of the circuit. The capacitor discharges through (R + R 3 ) with a time constant of (R + R 3 )C (15.0 k Ω k Ω)(10.0 µf) s. The initial current I i in this discharge circuit is determined by the initial potential difference across the capacitor applied to (R + R 3 ) in series: I i ( V) C (R + R 3 ) IR (333 µa)(15.0 kω) 78 µa (R + R 3 ) (15.0 kω+3.00 kω) Thus, when the switch is opened, the current through R changes instantaneously from 333 µa (downward) to 78 µa (downward) as shown in the graph. Thereafter, it decays according to I R I i e t/(r +R 3 )C (78 µa)e t/(0.180 s) (for t > 0) (d) The charge q on the capacitor decays from Q i to Q i /5 according to (a) q Q i e t/(r +R 3 )C Q i 5 Q s) ie( t/ e t/0.180 s ln 5 t 180 ms t (0.180 s)(ln 5) 90 ms
