Question 1
20 points Save Answer
In an attempt to study the electrical behavior of a light bulb in a circuit. an alternative voltage waveform, of a 4 V amplitude. is applied at a rate of 50 Hz. through the means of a
voltage sensor, the current and the voltage variations across the light bulb were monitored and registered. The following data are obtained:

V (mV) I (A)

1000 0.0049

2000 0.0064

3000 0.0105

4000 0.0123

Using linear regression, determine the slope of the electrical current Vs the voltage along with its error. What does the slope represent?

a. Slope = 0.0026 Q-1 : Error on Slope = 4'10 -4 0.1 ; Slope represents 1/R C

b. Slope = 0.0026 0 ; Error on Slope = 4'10 -3 0 ; Slope represents R

0 C.
Slope = 0.0026 mQ-1 ; Error on Slope = 4.10-4 m0-1 ; Slope represents R 0 d.

Slope = 0.0026 mn -1 ; Error on Slope = 4'10 -3 0-1 : Slope represents 1/R

We have measured the voltage across a capacitor using three different voltmeters:

U= 4.62V U=4.58V U=4.52V

Find the average value and the error on the average value (a rms)

m Uaverage - 4 . 5 7 V± 0 . 0 3 V

m Uaverage= 4 . 57 V± 0 . 04 V

m Uaverage=4.57V±0.02V C Uaverage=4.57V±0.01V

Question 8
Question 8 of 18
In the Resistance & Resistivity experiment, how increasing the frequency of the voltage waveform affected the light bulb?

m a. It increased the amount of both the voltage and the electrical current applied to the tungsten filament, which
caused the latter's temperature to increase to its optimal possible value and stabilize. and hence turning
the bulb into an ohmic device.

m b. It increased the amount of the electrical current applied and turned the bulb into an ohmic
device.

m c. It increased the amount of the voltage applied and therefore turned the bulb into a non-ohmic device.

m d. It supplied the bulb with the voltage waveform at a high rate, which helped the tungsten filament's
temperature to stop fluctuating and stabilize, and as a result stabilizing the resistance and turning the bulb into an ohmic
device.
