1. Typical household currents are on the order of a few amperes.

a. If a 1.54A current flows through the leads of an electrical appliance, how many electrons per second pass through it?

b. If a 1.54A current flows through the leads of an electrical appliance, how many coulombs pass through it in 5.50 min?

c. If a 1.54A current flows through the leads of an electrical appliance, how long does it take for 7.24C of charge to pass through?

d. A copper transmission cable 170km long and a 12.5cm in diameter carries a current of 135 A. What is the potential drop across the cable?

Consider a city where the demand for housing for the typical household is Q = 1,200 – 1,000P, where Q is the square footage demanded and P is the price per square foot. (a) Draw the demand curve for housing. [Hint: you might have to manipulate the equation as it is given to you!] (b) Assume that the price of housing is $0.70 per square foot. At this price, the typical household chooses __________ square feet, and enjoys a consumer...

The typical daily energy use of a household is described by a function f : [−12, 12] → [0, ∞). The value of f(x) is the consumption rate at given time x. Both points x = −12 and x = 12 of the domain correspond to 3am so f(12) = f(−12). It is also known that 9am and 9pm (x = −6 and x = 6, respectively) are local maxima of the consumption rate. In this question we model the...
