Phys 112-01 Test 1 Name: Ss SLU TIONS Page 5 4. (30 pts.) When a powerful appliance switches on, the lights on the same circuit often dim noticeably. In this problem, you will calculate this effect for the following idealized simplified circuit. Resistance R, represents the total resistance in the wires, Ry is a light bulb, and Ry is a motor. (For the purposes of this problem, assume that all these resis- tances are fixed, constant values.) VW R, = 0.4000 R, R; 120V —== T bulb Motor a. (15 pts.) When the motor is off (or disconnected), a total current of 0.626 A pass- es through R,. What is the power dissipated by the light bulb?
