An incandescent lightbulb rated at 100 W will dissipate 100 W as heat and light when connected across a 110-V ideal voltage source. If three of these bulbs are connected in series across the same source, determine the power each bulb will dissipate.
What will be an ideal response?
Known quantities:
Rated power; rated voltage of a light bulb.
Find:
The power dissipated by a series of three light bulbs connected to the nominal voltage.
Assumptions:
The resistance of each bulb doesn’t vary when connected in series.

Many commercialized proteins used in molecular biology techniques were discovered and obtained from organisms isolated from national parks, e.g., Yellowstone National Park. Do you think these companies should pay a certain percentage of their profi ts to these parks, i.e., the public? Should these companies have limited access to sources of these bacteria? Should the general public have access to soil/water/plant samples and the like from parklands even if their motives are noncommercial? Write a paragraph supporting your position.
