1. (i) A 60-W incandescent lamp is connected to a 120-V source and is left burning
continuously in an otherwise dark staircase. Determine:
a. the current through the lamp
b. the cost of operating the light for one non-leap year if electricity costs 9.5 cents
per kWh.
(ii) Three light bulbs are connected to a 9-V battery as shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 1
Calculate: (a) the total current supplied by the battery, (b) the current through each bulb,
(c) the resistance of each bulb. Also draw resistive circuit equivalent model.
