Problem 27

Side flash. Figure $27-38$ indicates one reason no one should stand under a tree during a lightning storm. If lightning comes down the side of the tree, a portion can jump over to the person, especially if the current on the tree reaches a dry region on the bark and thereafter must travel through air to reach the ground. In the figure, part of the lightning jumps through distance $d$ in air and then travels through the person (who has negligible resistance relative to that of air because of the highly conducting salty fluids within the body). The rest of the current travels through air alongside the tree, for a distance $h$. If $d / h=0.400$ and the total current is $I=5000 \mathrm{~A}$, what is the current through the person?

In Fig. 27-62, a voltmeter of resistance $R_{\mathrm{V}}=300 \Omega$ and an ammeter of resistance $R_{\mathrm{A}}=3.00 \Omega$ are being used to measure a resistance $R$ in a circuit that also contains a resistance $R_{01}=100 \Omega$ and an ideal battery of emf $\mathscr{8}=12.0 \mathrm{~V}$. Resistance $R$ is given by $R=V / i$, where $V$ is the voltmeter reading and $i$ is the current in resistance $R$. However, the ammeter reading is not $i$ but rather $i^{\prime}$, which is $i$ plus the current through the voltmeter. Thus, the ratio of the two meter readings is not $R$ but only an apparent resistance $R^{\prime}=V / i^{r}$. If $R=85.0 \Omega$, what are (a) the ammeter reading, (b) the voltmeter reading, and (c) $R^{r}$ ? (d) If $R_{\mathrm{V}}$ is increased, docs the difference between $R^{\prime}$ and $R$ increase, decrease, or remain the same?

When you stand up, the increased separation between your body and the chair decreases the capacitance to $10 \mathrm{pF}$. (a) What then is the potential of your body? That potential is reduced over time, as the charge on you drains through your body and shoes (you are a capacitor discharging through a resistance). Assume that the resistance along that route is 300 $\mathrm{G} \Omega$. If you touch an electrical component while your potential is greater than $100 \mathrm{~V}$, you could ruin the component. (b) How long must you wait until your potential reaches the safe level of $100 \mathrm{~V} ?$
