What is the resistance of a bulb that uses an average power of 75 W when connected to a 60 Hz power source with a peak voltage of 170V?

You have to convert the peak voltage to an r.m.s. value, before inserting that value into the power equation.

Does a voltage source have resistance?
Voltage source: is any source that voltage and amperage come from. Resistor: is any part of a circuit that consumes that energy!
What determines the actual magnitude and direction of current through voltage source?
The voltage itself will determine the direction of current (assuming there isn't another source pushing current through the source backwards); the amount of current will be determined by the thevenin equivalent resistance of the circuit connected to that source (the resistance "seen" by the source, which can be lumped into a single circuit element).
What is the current in a copper wire that has a resistance of 2 ohms and is connected to a 9-volt electrical source?
Current equals Voltage divided by Resistance. 9/2=4.5 amps.
How do you change current into voltage?
Compute the open load voltage of the current source across its shunt resistance.This voltage becomes the voltage source's voltage.Move the current source's shunt resistance to the voltage source's series resistance.Insert the new voltage source into the original circuit in place of the current source.
How will you convert a open current circuit to a open voltage circuit?
The first thing you need to know is the internal resistance of the current source, the voltage source will have the same internal resistance. Then compute the open circuit voltage of the current source, this will be the voltage of the voltage source. You are now done.
Why does the terminal or load voltage vary when the load resistance is changed?
The behaviour you are describing is, in fact, due to the internal resistance of the voltage source.When a voltage source, such as a battery or generator, is not connected to a load, its potential difference is simply the electromotive force (or 'no-load voltage') of that source. When a load is connected, a load current flows not only through the load itself, but also through the internal resistance of the source. This causes an internal voltage drop across the internal resistance, which acts in the opposite sense (i.e. in accordance with Kirchhoff's Voltage Law), or direction, to the electromotive force, thus reducing the voltage available at the terminals. The greater the load (i.e. the lower the load resistance), the greater the resulting load current, and the greater the internal voltage drop -and the lower the terminal voltage.
What happen when 2 different current source are connected in series connection with a resistance?
It is not recommended because one or other current source will be damaged by excessive voltage.
Why resistors are connected in series with the voltage source and in parallel with current source?
a voltage source has very less(negligible)resistance.thus is considered as a short.if connected in parallel to a resistor will draw all the current acting as a short.thus is always connected in series of a resistor.where as a current source has tremendous resistance(infinity).thus if connected in series will be conidered as an open branch and no current will flow through it other than the source current.

Will current flow in a higher resistance or in lower resistance if they are connected in parallel to a voltage source?
Current will always flow in both resistors, but the one with the lower resistance will have more current flow through it. The value of the current in each resistor is calculated by dividing the voltage of the source by the resistance of the individual resistor. As long as the capability of the power source isn't exceeded, the current through each resistor isn't affected by the presence of the other resistor. Said another way, if two resistors are connected in parallel across a source, neither one "cares" that the other resistor is connected across the source. The two resistors work independently.
What is the difference between ideal and practical voltage source?
An ideal voltage source is a theoretical concept used in electrical engineering and circuit analysis. It is a voltage source that maintains a constant voltage output regardless of the current flowing through it or the load connected to it. In other words, an ideal voltage source has zero internal resistance and can supply infinite current at a constant voltage. In contrast, a practical voltage source is a real-world device that has internal resistance and cannot maintain a constant voltage output when a load is connected to it. The voltage output of a practical voltage source will decrease as the current flowing through it increases, due to the internal resistance of the source. As a result, the voltage across the load will be less than the voltage output of the source, and the difference is known as the voltage drop. In practical applications, it is important to take into account the limitations of practical voltage sources and design circuits that can operate within these limitations. An understanding of the behavior of both ideal and practical voltage sources is essential for designing efficient and effective electrical circuits. You also read more at electronicsinfos. com
What is practical voltage source?
in case of ideal voltage source we consider the internal resistance to be zero.but in practical,every battery has some internal resistance then if you connect a load resistance across the terminals of that source,the net potential difference's across the voltage source will be a function of external resistance connects it won't give constant voltage across it's terminals.
