Two identical small conducting spheres are separated by 0.60 m. The spheres carry different amounts of charge and each sphere experiences an attractive electric force of 10.8N. The total charge on the two spheres is -24 μC. The two spheres are now connected by a slender conducting wire, which is then removed. The electric force on each sphere is closest to

When a voltage difference is applied to a piece of metal wire, a current flows through it. If this metal wire is now replaced with a silver wire having twice the diameter of the original wire, how much current will flow through the silver wire? The lengths of both wires are the same, and the voltage difference remains unchanged. (The resistivity of the original metal is 1.68 × 10-8 Ω • m, and the resistivity of silver is 1.59 × 10-8 Ω • m.)

The voltage and power ratings of a particular light bulb, which are its normal operating values, are 110 V and 60 W. Assume the resistance of the filament of the bulb is constant and is independent of operating conditions. If the light bulb is operated with a current that is 50% of the current rating of the bulb, what is the actual power drawn by the bulb?
