Your hair dryer has a resistance of 9.6 Ω and you plug it into the bathroom outlet. Assume household voltage to be 120 V and that different parts of your house are connected in parallel. a) What current will it draw?
b) Suppose your brother has an identical hair dryer and plugs it into the same part of the circuit. What current will the two hair dryers draw?
c) If the maximum current the circuit breaker in the system can handle is 20 A, what do you think will happen?

Adiver named jacques observes a bubble of air rising from the bottom of a lake (where the absolute pressure is 3.50 atm) to the surface (where the pressure is 1.00 atm). the temperature at the bottom is 4.00 ∘c, and the temperature at the surface is 23.0 ∘c.what is the ratio of the volume of the bubble as it reaches the surface (vs) to its volume at the bottom (vb)? if jaques were to hold his breath the air in his lungs would be kept at a constant temperature. would it be safe for jacques to hold his breath while ascending from the bottom of the lake to the surface?
