Eleven (31%) of the approximately 36 patrons reportedly served on the evening of September 22 were contacted in an effort to determine the etiology of the outbreak. A case was defined as anyone who had vomiting or diarrhea within 6 hours of dining at the restaurant. All 11 reported nausea and vomiting; nine reported diarrhea; one reported headache; and one reported abdominal cramps. Onset of illness ranged from 1 hour to 8 hours after eating at the restaurant. Duration of illness ranged from 5 hours to several days. Ten persons sought medical treatment at local emergency rooms on September 22; two ultimately required hospitalization All persons consumed the same food items: fried shrimp; stir-fried rice; fried zucchini, and onions cucumber, cabbage, and lettuce salad; ginger salad dressing; chicken, and tea. Based on the symptom presentation and food consumed, the causative agent of the food poisoning is likely:

1) The label on a certain small appliance states that the appliance carries a current of 5.0 A when connected to a source of 120 V. What is the resistance of the appliance? (5 points) 2) Consider the circuit shown below. Calculate the equivalent (total) resistance of the circuit. (5 points) 3) A battery with a 18 V emf and an internal resistance of 0.050 Ohms provides a current of 25 A to a circuit. Calculate the terminal voltage of the battery. (5 points) 4) A series RLC AC circuit has resistance R = 650 Ohms, inductance L = 0.900 H, capacitance C = 7.50 micro Farad, frequency f = 60.0 Hz, and Vmax = 150 V. Find the total impedance of the circuit.(5 points)
