Question7: Suppose that an electromechanical relay has a coil voltage rating of 5 volts, and a coil resistance of 250 2. However, you desire to energize this relay with a 24 volt power supply. You know that a series-connected resistor might enable the 5-volt relay coil to be powered by the 24-volt supply without damage, but you do not know what size of resistor would be appropriate for the task. Draw a schematic diagram for such a circuit, showing the power supply (battery symbol), relay, and resistor. Explain how the resistor's value would be calculated, along with the calculated value in ohms.

Question7:
Suppose that an electromechanical relay has a coil voltage rating of 5 volts, and a coil
resistance of 250 2. However, you desire to energize this relay with a 24 volt power supply.
You know that a series-connected resistor might enable the 5-volt relay coil to be powered
by the 24-volt supply without damage, but you do not know what size of resistor would be
appropriate for the task.
Draw a schematic diagram for such a circuit, showing the power supply (battery symbol),
relay, and resistor. Explain how the resistor's value would be calculated, along with the
calculated value in ohms.
