(i)
Whether the power changes
(i)
Answer to Problem 56P
The power changes when the current increases
Explanation of Solution
An increase in current leads to a change in the mechanical load as the current as the current is analogous to mechanical load.
The mechanical power depends on the load. Therefore, the change in current will lead to change in the power.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the power changes when the current increases.
(j)
Whether the power is smaller or larger
(j)
Answer to Problem 56P
The power changes and becomes larger.
Explanation of Solution
According to ohm’s law, the current and resistance are inversely proportional to each other. If the current and resistance has to increase together, the load has to increase further.
The increase in the load will increase the power.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the power changes and becomes larger when the current and resistance increases.

- Consider the apparatus shown in Figure P30.32: a conducting bar is moved along two rails connected to an incandescent lightbulb. The whole system is immersed in a magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.400 T perpendicular and into the page. The distance between the horizontal rails is = 0.800 m. The resistance of the lightbulb is R = 48.0 , assumed to be constant. The bar and rails have negligible resistance. The bar is moved toward the right by a constant force of magnitude F = 0.600 N. We wish to find the maximum power delivered to the lightbulb. (a) Find an expression for the current in the lightbulb as a function of B, , R, and v, the speed of the bar. (b) When the maximum power is delivered to the lightbulb, what analysis model properly describes the moving bar? (c) Use the analysis model in part (b) to find a numerical value for the speed v of the bar when the maximum power is being delivered to the lightbulb. (d) Find the current in the lightbulb when maximum power is being delivered to it. (e) Using P = I2R, what is the maximum power delivered to the lightbulb? (f) What is the maximum mechanical input power delivered to the bar by the force F? (g) We have assumed the resistance of the lightbulb is constant. In reality, as the power delivered to the lightbulb increases, the filament temperature increases and the resistance increases.

(i) With the assumption that the resistance of the lightbulb increases as the current increases, does the power found in part (f) change? (j) If so, is the power found in part (f) larger or smaller? If not, explain. Figure P30.32arrow_forwardA piece of insulated wire is shaped into a figure eight as shown in Figure P23.12. For simplicity, model the two halves of the figure eight as circles.
