A circuit contains two inductors of 6.0-mH inductance in parallel placed in series with an inductor of 8.0-mH inductance. After one of the 6.0-mH inductors burns out, the repairman wants to replace all three inductors with one inductor of equivalent inductance. Assuming inductors combine in series and parallel the same way resistors do, what inductance should he use?
A. 3.0 mH
B. 3.4 mH
C. 4.8 mH
D. 11 mH
E. 20 mH

A metal surface has a work function of 1.50 eV. Calculate the maximum kinetic energy, in eV, of electrons ejected from this surface by electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 311 nm
(c = 3.00 × 108 m/s, h = 6.626 × 10-34 J ? s, e = - 1.60 × 10-19 C, 1 eV = 1.60 × 10-19 J)
Thermal Expansion: Suppose that a rigid aluminum wire were to be strung out in a loop that just fits snugly around the equator (assuming a perfectly spherical Earth with a radius of 6.37 × 106 m). If the temperature of the wire is increased by 0.50°C, and the increase in length is distributed equally over the entire length, how far off the ground will the wire loop be if it remained centered on the earth? The coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum is 24 × 10-6 K-1.
