Admin: Mid-term date Friday March 20th. •Review lecture Monday (16th) •Assignments: • • • • Fourth assignment is posted A couple of self-crafted Mesh analysis questions – any problems? Office hours tomorrow 2pm – 3pm Due Monday 16th • Assignment 3 feedback… more lightbulbs 26.4 Two lightbulbs of resistance R_1 and R_2 (R_2 > R_1) and a battery are all connected in series. (a) Which bulb is brighter? (b) What if they are connected in parallel? A (very) practical example of circuit analysis Example 26-10: Jump starting a car. A good car battery is being used to jump start a car with a weak battery. The good battery has an emf of 12.5 V and internal resistance 0.020 Ω. Suppose the weak battery has an emf of 10.1 V and internal resistance 0.10 Ω. Each copper jumper cable is 3.0 m long and 0.50 cm in diameter, and can be attached as shown. Assume the starter motor can be represented as a resistor Rs = 0.15 Ω. Determine the current through the starter motor (a) if only the weak battery is connected to it, and (b) if the good battery is also connected. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 26-6 Electric Hazards Most people can “feel” a current of 1 mA; a few mA of current begins to be painful. Currents above 10 mA may cause uncontrollable muscle contractions, making rescue difficult. Currents around 100 mA passing through the torso can cause death by ventricular fibrillation. Higher currents may not cause fibrillation, but can cause severe burns. Household voltage can be lethal if you are wet and in good contact with the ground. Be careful!
