matter through the ground to water; that is to say from the lithosphere to the
hydrosphere. Common examples of cycles under the sedimentary category
are:
Hydrological cycle: This is some times called the water cycle. Water
is the most important chemical of life for all living organisms on earth. Water
in the atmosphere is usually in form of vapor but condenses to liquid water
and can solidify when temperatures are 00C to form ice. Ninety three percent
of water on earth is in solid state mainly comprising the ice caps
and glaciers of Polar Regions.

An electrical device is attached to a 200-V source and has a resistance of 16 ohms.
How many electrons are leaving the electrical device per hour?
(2.8125 * 10^23 electrons) Go back to: Table of Contents
6.4.0 * 10^12 electrons flow through a wire that has a resistance of 14 ohms and is
attached to a 35-V source. Hwo long has the wire bveen attached to the electrical

(256 s)
1.
A radio is designed to take in 2 A when connected to a 10-V source. What is its net
resistance?
Solution:
V=IR
R= V/I= 10-V/ 2 A= 5 ohms

2.
A spotlight has a resistance of 20 ohms and requires 32 A of current to function.
What amount of voltage does the light need to be plugged into?
Solution:
V=IR
V= 20 A * 30 ohms = 640-V Go to: ProblemFormulasTable of Contents
3.
What charge has passed through a wire with 4 ohms of resistance if it is attached to a
3-V battery for 2 minutes?
Solution:
I=V/R
I= 3-V / 4 ohms = .75 A
I= dQ/dt
.75 A = dQ / (2 minutes * 60 sec/min)
dQ = 90 C

4.
A blender draws 6 A at 90-V. What current would it receive if the voltage suddenly
dropped 25%?
Solution:
R=V/I
R= 90 / 6 = 15 ohms
75% * 90-V = 67.5-V
I= V/R
I= 67.5-V/ 15 ohms = 4.5 A

5.
An electrical device is attached to a 200-V source and has a resistance of 16 ohms.
How many electrons are leaving the electrical device per hour?
Solution:
I=V/R
I= 200-V / 16 ohms = 12.5 A
I= dQ/dt
12.5 A = dQ / (60 min/hr * 60 sec/min)
dQ = 45000 C
charge on one electron is 1.6 * 10^-19 C
45000 C / (1.6 * 10^-19 C) = 2.8125 * 10^23 electrons Go

6.
4.0 * 10^12 electrons flow through a wire that has a resistance of 14 ohms and is
attached to a 35-V source. Hwo long has the wire bveen attached to the electrical
source?
Solution:
I=V/R
I= 35-V / 14 ohms = 2.5 A
I = dQ/dt
dQ= 4.0 * 10^21 electrons * 1.6 * 10^-19 C/electron = 640 C
2.5 A = 640 C / dt
dt = 256 s
