A "590-W" electric heater is designed to operate from 120-V lines. A)What is its operating resistance?
b)What current does it draw?
c)If the line voltage drops to 110 V, what power does the heater take? (Assume that the resistance is constant. Actually, it will change because of the change in temperature.)
d)The heater coils are metallic, so that the resistance of the heater decreases with decreasing temperature. If the change of resistance with temperature is taken into account, will the electrical power consumed by the heater be larger or smaller than what you calculated in the previous part?
a. It will be smaller. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, decreasing the power.
b. It will be smaller. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will decrease, decreasing the power.
c. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, increasing the power.
d. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will decrease, increasing the power.

Consider a uniformly charged ring in the xy plane, centered at the origin. the ring has radius a and positive charge qdistributed evenly along its circumference. a)what is the direction of the electric field at any point on the z axis? . b)what is the magnitude of the electric field along the positive z axis? use k in your answer, where k=14πϵ0. d)the ball will oscillate along the z axis between z=d and z=−d in simple harmonic motion. what will be the angular frequency ω of these oscillations? use the approximation d≪a to simplify your calculation; that is, assume that d2+a2≈a2. express your answer in terms of given charges, dimensions, and constants
