The second common hour in Physics 227 will be held Thursday, November 12 from 9:50 to
11:10 PM at night in 4 locations on two campuses, Livingston and Busch. You should go to
the exam location assigned to the first letters of your last name. Note that the exam
locations have changed since the first exam. Make sure you go to the correct exam
location where you will find your exam.

If you have a conflict for this exam you must send your request for a conflict and your
entire schedule for the week of November 8 to Professor Cizewski
[email protected] no later than 5:00 PM on Wednesday, November 4. If you
do not request a conflict exam before the deadline you will have to take the exam as
scheduled on November 12.
Energy and Power in DC Circuits
Each charge carrier going “downhill” from a
higher 𝑉𝑎 to a lower 𝑉𝑏 dissipates the energy
𝑒𝑉𝑎𝑎 in its environment: the gained kinetic
energy is transformed into thermal energy
(“heat”) due to inelastic scattering
(remember, no acceleration!).
If charge 𝑑𝑑 passes a circuit element in
𝑑𝑑, the power generated is:

Light Bulbs
The incandescent light bulb: a resistor, being heated by current,
emits black-body radiation in the visible wavelength range.
Bulbs are rated by power. Resistance of a 60W bulb designed for
120V (neglect the fact that this rating is for the AC (not DC)
current):

𝑅=

= 240Ω
𝑃
60𝑊
Note that a light bulb that is rated at 60W actually produces
only about 3 W of visible light 
The larger the power, the smaller the resistance (we assume that R is much greater
than the internal resistance of the voltage source).
𝑃
The wall outlet 110V can be considered as a
voltage source – the internal resistance is
smaller than all typical loads.

Example
We don’t need to know a priori the actual
direction of the current: if we get the negative
value of I, that would mean that the current
flows in the direction opposite to the
direction of “travel”.
