    Physics Assignment 1

    Exercise 5A, Case 1 I can see I will need the following equations to help me solve the next few cases involving the power plant. V=IR P=IV P=I2R Where V represents Voltage drop, I represents Current, R represents Resistance, & P represents Power lost. This intro tells me that I will be using a plant voltage of 120V to solve the first cases. I can see that I’ll be predicting various voltage drops across a completed circuit, from a power plant to a house. Exercise 5A, Case 2 If nothing
