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?

An AC electric motor is connected to a 240-V, 60-Hz source. A clamp-on ammeter with a peak hold function reveals that the motor has an inrush current of 34 A when the motor is first started. Your job is to reduce the inrush current to a value of 20 A by connecting a resistor in series with the motor. The resistor will be shunted out of the circuit after the motor is started. Using an ohmmeter, you find that the motor has a wire resistance of 3 . How much resistance should be connected in series with the motor to reduce the starting current to 20 A?
You are a journeyman electrician working in an industrial plant. Your task is to connect an inductor to a 480-V, 60-Hz line. To determine the proper conductor and fuse size for this installation, you need to know the amount of current the inductor will draw from the line. The nameplate on the inductor indicates that it has an inductance of 0.1 H. An ohmmeter reveals that it has a wire resistance of 10 . How much current should this inductor draw when connected to the line?
A moving coil ammeter gives a full scale deflection for a current i = 60 mA and its coil has a resistance RC = 0.5 Ω. It is provided with a multiplier resistance Rm = 2.5 Ω added in series. What is the full scale deflection in volts of this modified ammeter? Select one: a. 150 mV b. 30 mV c. 24 mV d. 180 mV
About 20% of a home’s use of energy goes to lighting, while the number for commercial establishments is closer to 40%. Fluorescent lights are about four times more efficient than incandescent lights—this is true for both the long tubes and the compact fluorescent lights (CFL). Thus, a 60-W incandescent bulb can be replaced by a 15-W CFL, which has the same brightness and color. The heat transfer from these CFLs is less, and they last up to 10 times longer. New white LED lights (which are clusters of small LED bulbs) are even more efficient (twice that of CFLs) and last 5 times longer than CFLs. However, their cost is still high. If the cost of electricity in your area is P10 per kWh, what is the total cost (capital plus operation) of using a 60-W incandescent bulb for 1000 hours (the lifetime of that bulb) if the bulb cost P100? If we replace this bulb with a compact fluorescent light that provides the same light output, but at 1/4 the wattage, and which costs P20 but lasts 10 times…

DEQ The Mark Armor III of Tony Stark was damaged and required a little boost from the spare batteries he found inhis workshop. He created a setup of two 9-volt batteries in a series connection which the inductance is1/4 henry and the resistance is 8ohms. What is the current (I) after 20 seconds if the armor is initially atzero.
In measuring a voltage, a voltimeter uses some current from the circuit. Consequently, the voltage measured is only an approximation to the voltage present when the voltmeter is not connected. Consider a circuit consisting of two 3000-Ω resistors connected in series across a 60.0-V battery. A non-digital voltmeter has a full-scale voltage of 60.0 V and uses a galvanometer with a full-scale deflection of 5.00 mA. What is the difference (VA - VB) between A) the voltage across one of the two resistors and B) the voltage that this voltmeter registers when it is connected across one of the two resistors?
