A hair dryer with a resistance of 12.0 Ω and a lamp with a resistance of 125 Ω are connected in parallel to a 125-V source through a 1.50- Ω resistor in series. Find the current through the lamp when the hair dryer is on.

0.88A

Explanation:

The representation of the circuit is shown in the attached file where the V represent the voltage source,the $R_{a} ,R_{b} ,R_{c}$ represent the 1.50Ω,12Ω and 125Ω, resistor respectively.

We have to model the circuit into a single voltage source and a single resistance. This can be done by combining the resistance value.

First, the hair dryer resistance and the lamp resistance are arranged in parallel.The equivalent resistance for the two component is determine below

$=\frac{R_{b}*R_{c} }{R_{b}+R_{c}} \\R_{bc}=\frac{12*125 }{12+125}\\$

$R_{bc}=10.9 ohms\\$ .

Now the $R_{bc}=10.9 ohms$ . is in series with $R_{a}\\$ .

the equivalent value of the new formed is resistor is determine below

$R_{abc}=R_{a}+R_{bc}=1.5+10.9\\R_{abc}=12.4ohms\\$

Now we have a single resistor and a voltage source of value 125v

Using homes law, we can determine the current that pass through $R_{abc}$ resistor

V=IR

$I=\frac{125}{12.4}\\I=10.1A$

Recall, when resistors are arrange in series the same amount of current pass through them, and when in parallel, different amount of current will pass through them depending on the value.

hence we can conclude that, 10.1A will pass through the $R_{bc}$ and $R_{a}$ resistor. We can now determine the current through the lamp when the hair dryer is on using the simple circuit in the second attachment. The expression for the current through the lamp is

$I_{c}=\frac{I*R_{b} }{R_{b}+R_{c}} \\$

when we substitute value, we arrive at

$I_{c}=\frac{10.1*12 }{12+125} \\I_{c}=0.88A\\$

hence the value of the current through the lamp when the dryer is on is 0.88A

Answer from: Quest

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
