    DESIGN PROBLEMS

    1. If the circuit is connected from a 12v DC supply and the


    equivalent resistance of the current circuit is 60 ohms. What value of
    resistor(s) must be connected in series into the circuit to have a
    current of 0.15A?
    VT = 12 V R1 = 60 Ω IT = 0.15 A

    2. If the circuit is connected from a 12v DC supply and the


    equivalent resistance of the current circuit is 60 ohms. What value of
    resistor(s) must be connected in parallel into the circuit to have a total
    current of 0.60A?

    PROBLEMS
    1. Three resistors of 10, 12 and "x" ohms, respectively are
    connected in parallel across a constant current source of 8A.
    Determine “x" if this resistors draws 2.5 A.
    R1 = 10Ω I1 = 8A
    R2 = 12Ω Ix = 2.5 A
    RX =
    R 1 R2 ( 10 ) ( 12 )
    R= = =5.4545Ω
    R1 + R2 (10+ 12 )
    I 1 (R)
    Ix=
    Rx + R
    I 1 ( R) ( 8 ) ( 5.4545 )
    Rx= −R= −5.4545Ω
    Ix 2.5
    Rx = 12 Ω

    2. Two lamps need 50v and 2A each in order to operate at a


    desired brilliancy. They are to be connected in series across an 110v
    line. What is the resistance of the rheostat which must be placed in
    series with the lamps?
    V1 = 50v V2 = 50v
    I1 = 2A I2 = 2A
    V 50V
    R= =
    I 2A
    R1 = 25Ω R2= 25Ω
    110v = 50v + 50v + v3
    V 3 10 V
    V3 = 10v = =5 Ω
    I3 2 A
    3. A 120V DC motor draws current of 100 A and is located 1000 ft
    from the supply source. If the diameter of the copper transmission line
    is 0.45 inch, what must be the voltage of the supply

    L
    R= ρ
    A
    A= d2
    (1000 x 2)
    R=10.37 =0.1024 Ω
    (0.45 x 1000)2
    Vs = VR + IR= 120v + 100A(0.1024 Ω )
    Vs = 130.24 v

    4. Two rheostats of resistance 10 and 15 ohms are connected in


    parallel and joined to a battery of negligible internal resistance. There
    is a current of 0.2A in the 10 ohm rheostat. Determine (a) the current
    in the 15 ohm rheostat and (b) the emf of the battery.
    R1 = 10 Ω
    R2 = 15 Ω
    I1 = 0.2 A
    a). Current
    V 2v
    I= = =0.1333 A
    R 15 Ω
    b). Voltage
    V= IR (0.2A)(10Ω)= 2v
    5. An 18 Ω toaster, 11 Ω electric frying pan and 14Ω coffee maker
    are connected in parallel across a 120v line. (a) What is the current
    through each appliance? (b) If a household circuit could carry a
    maximum current of 15A, would it be able to run the entire appliance
    at the same time?
    R1 = 18Ω
    R2 = 11Ω
    R3 = 14Ω
    V= 120v
    V 120 v
    I1 = = =6.6667 A
    R 1 18 Ω
    V 120 v
    I2 = = =10.9091 A
    R 2 11 Ω
    V 120 v
    I3 = = =8.5714 A
    R 3 18 Ω

    IT = 6.6667A + 10.9091A + 8.5714A


    IT = 26.1472A
    b). No, because IT > Imax

    6. Five 46Ω strip heaters are wired in parallel. (a) How much
    current does each heater draw from a 120v line? (b) How much current
    do they draw all together?

    V 120 v
    I= = =2.6087 A
    R 46 Ω

    I x 5 = 2.6087 x 5 = 13.039A

    CIRCUIT DESIGN
    1. Suppose a circuit is to be connected to a 12v DC supply,
    design a circuit to have a total current of 0.1901A across the circuit.
    The sum of the voltage of the first two resistors is equal to the total
    voltage. The voltage across the third resistor is equal to the difference
    of the second and the fourth resistor, while the total current is equal to
    the summation of current across second and third resistor. The current
    across the fifth resistor is the difference of between the current in the
    third and the fourth resistors. The voltage across the first resistor is
    9.505v and the voltage across the fifth resistor is 1.426v, and is equal
    to the fourth resistor. The total current is equal to the current on the
    first resistor. The current on the third resistor is 0.1069A and the
    current on the fifth resistor is 0.356A.

    PROBLEMS

    1. As one turns on more lamps in an ordinary household circuit,


    what happens to the current in the first lamp? To the line current? To
    the line voltage? Why is it not customary to connect household electric
    lamps in series?
