Figure P1.27 shows an ammeter (AM) and voltmeter (VM) connected to measure the current and voltage, respectively, for circuit element A.When current actually enters the + terminal of the ammeter, the reading is positive, and when current leaves the + terminal, the reading is negative. If the actual voltage polarity is positive at the + terminal of the VM, the reading is positive; otherwise, it is negative. (Actually, for the connection shown, the ammeter reads the sum of the current in element A and the very small current taken by the voltmeter. For purposes of this problem, assume that the current taken by the voltmeter is negligible.) Find the power for element A and state whether energy is being delivered to element A or taken from it if

Plot the power ? as a function of the resistance ? for 1 Ω < ? < 10 Ω given that ? = 12 V and ? = 4 Ω. From the resulting plot, when does the maximum power transfer occur and what is this maximum power being dissipated by the load?arrow_forwardThe circuit shown in Figure P1.67 is the electrical model for an electronic megaphone, in which the 8–Ω resistance models a loudspeaker, the source V x and the 5–kΩ resistance represent a microphone, and the remaining elements model an amplifier. Given that the power delivered to the 8–Ω resistance is 8 W, determine the current circulating in the right-hand loop of the circuit. Also, determine the value of the microphone voltage V x.arrow_forward
