Problem 1:
Consider the electric circuit below for cars:
A. Are the bulbs in parallel or series? Explain why this is designed this way
B. What is the voltage of a car battery (use google)?
C. What is the voltage drop across the car bulbs?
D. Is the tank sensor in parallel or series with the fuel gauge?
E. Which of these two circuits can leave your car battery dead, why/explain?
F. What is the standard power used by a car light bulb? Use Google. How would you estimate the cu
ent through the bulb?
G. List two more items that use electricity in your car. Draw them in the same format as above: Battery, Earth, Load (item). For each circut explain if you should include the ignition or not.
Problem 2
A. Use Excel (or Google Sheets)l to make a plot of a sin wave with the following properties. Amplitude of 10, angular frequency of 6. Plot this from 0 to 2*Pi.
B. Illustrate what it means to make a phase shift of your wave. How did you change your Excel file?
C. Now make wave of amplitude 5 and angular frequency 1. Plot this from 0 to 2*Pi
D. Add the two waves and show the result.
E. Use this website: https:
www.compadre.org/osp/EJSS/4487/272.htm Explain in your own words what Fourier Analysis? How does it explain why a guitar and trumpet can play the same notes and yet sound different?
F. In O-Chem lab you likely have used an FTIR spectra. What does this acronym stand for?
G. Why do you think they use the term Fourier Transform to describe this tool?
Problem 3
Just answer the highlighted parts of this question
In this problem you will need to construct a pendulum and make a video to answer the following questions. You will have to explain some of your results on video.
A. Write an equation for the oscillations. What is the relationship between the amplitude and period? How can you demonstrate this with an experiment? Show this on a video.
B. What is the equation for a period of the pendulum. How can you use this equation to measure the gravitational constant g? Do the experiment and show your results.
C. The equation above only works for “small angles.” Can you demonstrate that the equation for a period works well for small angles (below 25 degrees, but doesn’t work well for large angles?) Demonstrate this with an explanation on a video.
Problem 4
In the figure below is shown part of the circuit that is used to model the cell mem
ane of an electrically excitable cell. While the actual model includes variable resistors, let’s analyze the simplest example of this circuit: take the batteries to be identical and ideal and taking the resistors to be identical and Ohmic. The capacitor plates (inside the plastic shell shown) co
espond to the inside and outside of the mem
ane.
Suppose the batteries each are labeled with a voltage V0 and the resistors each have a resistance R. Where asked for cu
ents or voltages express your answers in terms of V0 and R.
A. The batteries are not connected with the same orientation. When the network reaches a steady state and the capacitor is charged is there any cu
ent through the batteries and resistors? Explain
iefly why you think so.
B. There is no cu
ent through a charged capacitor. Find the voltage drop across each resistor. If you think that there is cu
ent, find the cu
ent through and voltage drop across each resistor.
C. Is there a voltage difference across the plates of the capacitor? If so, find it. If not, explain why there is none.
