When an electrical device has a short circuit, a fault in the circuit allows current to flow with almost no resistance. The dangerously large current in a short circuit creates significant shock and fire hazards. Suppose a short circuit occurs when the terminals of a 6.0 V battery are connected by 8.8 cm of AWG 12 gauge wire with a resistance of 5.2 Ω per 1000 m of length. 12 gauge wire can safely carry a maximum current I max = 25 A. To two significant figures, what is the short circuit current I short in terms of I max ?

Unpolarized light whose intensity is 1.19 w/ is incident on a polarizer. (a) what is the intensity of the light leaving the polarizer? (b) if the analyzer is set at an angle of = 41.0∘ with respect to the polarizer, what is the intensity of the light that reaches the photocell?
