An energy-efficient central heating unit draws 15 amps in a 230-volt circuit, but costs $1,025 dollars more than a less-efficient model, which draws 20 amps in a 115-volt circuit. If electricity costs 21 cents per kilowatt-hour, how long would you have to run the efficient heater to recover the difference in price? Would you invest in the more efficient and expensive heating unit if you lived in Chicago? Why?

Flanders likes to run long races only. That is, he hates running for less than two hours (each of the first 120 minutes of running make him worse than before) but, after 120 minutes of running, each additional minute of running makes him feel better. Flanders has eight free hours a day. Draw Flanders’s budget line between hours spent running (measured on the horizontal axis) and hours spent on other leisure activities (measured on the vertical axis). What is the...

1 a) A certain tightly-wound coil of wire is perpendicular to an external magnetic field. The magnetic field has a strength of 3.4 mT, and the coil is circular with a radius of 10.7 cm. If I run a current of 4.5 A through the wire (in the right direction), I can cause the net flux through the coil to be zero. If the coil has 26 turns, what is its inductance? Express your answer in mH (millihenrys). b) An...

You place your lunch leftovers in the refrigerator. Suppose the refrigerator needs to remove 2.4280E+4 J of thermal energy from your lunch to cool it to the temperature of the inside of the refrigerator. In the meantime, this means the refrigerator produces 3.2787E+4 J of thermal energy that it expels into the kitchen as a result. a.) What is the total work done by the compressor motor in the refrigerator? (Ignore any thermal loses due to friction in the motor.)...
