Measuring Light Intensity
A battery is connected to a wire, and makes a current in the wire.
A battery is connected to a photoresistor. When light shines on this
resistor, it increases the number of charge carriers that are free to
move in the resistor. Now, the roo
oom lights are turned off, so less light
falls on the photoresistor. How does this affect the current in the
circuit?
i.
Which of the following changes would increase the
current?
ii. Which would decrease the current?
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
iii. Which would cause no change?
Increasing the length of the wire
Keeping the wire the same length, but making it thicker
Using a battery with a higher rated voltage
Making the wire into a coil, but keeping its dimensions the
same
Increasing the temperature of the wire

Measuring Body Fat
A battery is connected to a photoresistor. When light shines on this
resistor, it increases the number of charge carriers that are free to
move in the resistor. Now, the roo
oom lights are turned off, so less light
falls on the photoresistor. How does this affect the current in the
circuit?
The resistivity of the body is a good measure of its overall composition. A
measure of the resistance of the upperr arm
a is a good way to estimate the percent
fat in a person’s body. Let’s model a pers
erson’s upper arm as a cylinder of diameter
8.0 cm and length 20 cm. We can model
el the composition of the arm by assuming
that the muscle, far, and nonconductive portions (the bone) form simple regions.
This simple model actually works quite well. For a typical adult, the bone has a
cross-sectional area of 1.0 cm2; to a good approximation, the balance of the arm
is fatty tissue or muscle.
B. The current decreases.
A. Assume that the arm has 30% fatt a
and 70% muscle. What is the resistance of
the arm?
B. Now, assume that the arm has only 10% muscle. What is the resistance
now?
The measurement of the resistance off the
th arm is made by applying a voltage and
measuring a current. Too much currentt can
c be uncomfortable and, as we will see,
can be dangerous. Suppose we wish to limit the current to 1.0 mA. For each of
the above cases, what is the maximum voltage that could be employed?

Electric Blankets
A resistor is connected to a 3.0 V battery; the power dissipated in
the resistor is 1.0 W. The battery is now traded for a 6.0 V battery.
The power dissipated by the resistor is now
1. An electric blanket has a wire that runs through the interior. A
current causes energy to be dissipated in the wire, warming the
blanket. A new, low-voltage
voltage electric blanket is rated to be used at
18 V. It dissipates a power of 82 W. What is the resistance of the
wire that runs through the blanket?
2. For the electric blanket of the above
a
example, as the temperature
of the wire increases, what hap
appens to the resistance of the wire?
How does this affect the current in the wire? The dissipated
power?
D. 4.0 W
