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?
An office building uses a bank of 63 lead-acid cells connected in series with a capacity of 80 amp-hours each to provide battery backup for their computers. The lead-acid cells are to be replaced with nickel-metal hydride cells with a capacity of 40 amp-hours each. How many nickel-metal hydride cells will be required to replace the lead-acid cells and how should they be connected?

An Engineer is tasked with implementing a lighting circuit with a 24 V battery. Part of the task included making sure power was conserved, e.g., ensuring the light stays off during daytime. The engineer selects a generic phototransistor to detect enough ambient light when present. The circuit below contains two transistors in series Q1, & Q2. This means that for the 35-Watt lamp (load) to work both transistors must be “ON” (or conducting), else the lamp is “OFF” (no current flows). Transistor Q1 is turned on by actuating the switch “SW1”. Transistor Q2 is turned on by the phototransistor Q4. The circuit is powered by a 24V Battery. Figure 1 shows the control circuit schematic and the simplified (equivalent) logic gate version of the circuit. (Hint: calculate your answer using Ohms law.)
Directions: Complete the table by providing the values for Vab, Vac, Vbd, and Vcd. Refer to Figures a and b. Note that an ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance while an ideal ammeter has zero resistance. You may need to compute for the current in the circuit to find the unknown voltages.
Consider an approximate model of the epitaxial resistivity in a silicon power transistor:A pyramid structure with a square base has a resistor in every edge of the structure.The structure of the model is shown below. (a) Based on the description above, draw the relevant structure and include relevant resistors in your diagram. (b) Suppose the value of all resistors is R Ω, calculate the total resistance viewing from any of the a-x pairs. (c) Is the total resistance similar for all possible vertex pairs? Verify your statement above by including relevant calculation proof.
Now let's try using a pack of AA batteries (1.2 V output voltage and 0.2 Ohm internal resistance each) to replace the lead-acid battery. In order to match the car lead-acid battery, first, 10 such AA batteries need to be connected in series to form a 12V cell, while 50 such cells need to be connected in parallel (as shown in picture above; the total of 500 AA batteries are used). Find the power that is supplied to the same "car starter" using this pack of AA batteries. (Hint: for the second question, you need to find the total voltage and the internal resistance of the whole pack; you also need to find the resistance of the "car starter"; this can be done using the data of the first part of this problem)

Shown below is a typical setup for a solar battery system. Sun’s energy is converted to electricity using solar PV modules. To match the output voltage of the PV module to the battery's, a charge controller is used which is a DC-DC converter. The sun’s output power is given as 1000 W/m2. The solar module has a surface area of 1 m^2 with a conversion efficiency of 10%. A charge controller converts the 20V module voltage to 12V battery voltage, with an efficiency of 84% The battery is 12V with a capacity of 10Ah. Assuming the battery is half empty (or half full, depending on your personality) and the bulb is powered on, how long will it take for the battery to be fully charged? How long can the bulb be powered at night, assuming full battery when the sun goes down and that you can fully drain the battery? (answer in hours)
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)
A DC resistive circuit includes a 5.5 mA current source, Is, which is connected to 2resistors in parallel: R1 which is 7 kΩ and R2 which has 1.75 times more conductancethan R1. There is a closed switch before R2 in series with only this resistor. Thenegative terminal of the current source is at the ground.- Firstly if you can draw the circuit diagram for the above-described circuit being sure to label allcircuit elements, current directions, and voltage polarities of each element.- The switch is now open. Redraw the circuit diagram with a voltmeter whichmeasures the voltage across the resistor R1. Be sure to label all circuit elements,current directions, and voltage polarities of each element. Indicate the valuedisplayed by the voltmeter.
