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?
The open-circuit voltage of a particular solar cell is 2.2 V, and the short-circuit resistance (that is, a load resistor is zero) is 1.1 A. What is the internal resistance of the battery? What is the voltage supplied by the battery?
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)

Need help designing circuit! A DC voltage is required to power a load that can be modeled as a simple resistor with R = 500 Ω. A sinusoidal voltage with peak value of VP = 10 V at a frequency of 60 Hz is available. Design a full-wave bridge rectifier circuit to accomplish this. Include a capacitor in parallel with the load to provide some filtering.

A galvanometer has a full-scale deflection (FSD) current of 5 mA and an FSD voltage of 100 mV. In suitable circuits, it can be used as an ammeter or as a voltmeter. a) Explain, using circuit diagrams, the principles of these two circuits. b) Calculate the component values required to make it a voltmeter reading to 100 V, and an ammeter reading to 1 A.
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?
