You are working as an electrician in a large steel manufacturing plant, and you are in the process of doing preventive maintenance on a large DC generator. You have megged both the series and shunt field windings and found that each has over 10 M to ground. Your ohmmeter, however, indicates a resistance of 1.5 across terminals S1andS2. The ohmmeter indicates a resistance of 225 between terminals F1andF2. Are these readings normal for this type machine, or is there a likely problem? Explain your answer.
2. In a circuit that contains only resistors in parallel, some of the current in the circuit will go through each branch of the parallel resistors, as dictated by Kirchoff's Junction Rule. Furthermore, the potential difference provided by the battery is the potential difference across each branch of the parallel resistors (notice there is no potential drop between the branches). Assume the batteries supply a potential difference of AV = 3.0 V, and use Ohm's Law along with the currents measured through resistor R1 in circuits 4a, 4b, and 4c to determine the effective resistance in this branch (the branch that includes R1) of each circuit. Please show the calculation of each. R1 = 150 ohm, R2 = 230 ohm R3 = 270 ohms (don't believe question should need these but providing anyways)
Help me answer, I want to check my solution To get the contribution of the 75V source to iR, we first kill the 50mA source. What is the resulting equivalent resistance in series with the 75K resistor (in Kohms) To get the contribution of the 75V source to iR, we first kill the 50mA source. What is the resulting value of iR (in mA)? What is the nodal equation for Vx? What is the Thevanin voltage in (Volts) and Thevanin resistance in (Kohms)?
A circuit consists of a series combination of 6.00 kΩ and5.00 kΩ resistors connected across a 50.0 V battery having negligibleinternal resistance. You want to measure the true potential difference(that is, the potential difference without the meter present) across the5.00 kΩ resistor using a voltmeter having an internal resistance of10.0 kΩ. By what percentage is the voltmeter reading in error from the true potential difference?

You’re working on a new high-speed rail system. It uses 6000-horsepower electric locomotives, getting power from a sin-gle overhead wire with resistance 15 mΩ/km, at 25 kV potential relative to the track. Current returns through the track, whose resistance is negligible. Energy-efficiency standards call for no more than 3% power loss in the wire. How far from the power plant can the train go and still meet this standard?

can someone show me step by step how to do this problem and explain the concepts A device, shown in Figure P3.5a, can be modeled by a current source in parallel with a resistance. The relationship between the current through the device, iX, and the voltage across the device, vX, is given in the plot in Figure P3.5b. a) Find a model for the device that would be valid when current is in the range 1[mA] < iX < 5[mA]. This model must have numerical values for the current and resistance, and the polarities with respect to vX and iX should be shown in a diagram. b) A voltage source is applied across the device so that vX = 10[V]. Find the power delivered by the device in this situation.

A potentiometer consisting of a wire of length L0 has a source of emf, ɛ connected across it. When a standard cell with emf V = 6V, in series with a voltmeter, is connected at one end of the wire and at a distance L = 4 cm along the wire the voltmeter circuit is in balance and the voltmeter reads zero. When the standard cell is replaced by a source of unknown emf the new balance length is found to be 6 cm. What is the unknown emf? Select one: a. 9 V b. 8 V c. 4 V d. 3 V
