17.) A rubber balloon has become negatively charged from being rubbed with a wool cloth, and the charge is measured as 1.00 × 10-14 C. According to this charge, the balloon contains an excess of how many electrons?
18.) There is a current of 0.86 A through a lightbulb in a 12 V circuit. What is the resistance of this lightbulb?
19.) An inflated rubber balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth until an excess of 1.00 × 1010 electrons is on the balloon. What is the magnitude of the charge on the balloon?
20.) Two 45.0-Ω lightbulbs are connected in a 24.0-V series circuit. What is the power of One bulb (as described above) in a simple circuit?
One bulb in a pair of identical bulbs (as described above) connected in a 120.0 V series circuit?
Thus, two lamps connected in a series circuit, as compared to one lamp in a simple circuit, increases decreases the current by one fourth one half three fourths and decreases increases the voltage byone fourth one half three fourths , resulting in the power for each lamp.
