ou are an electrician on the job. You have been given a multimeter that has the following AC voltage ranges: 30, 60, and 150. The meter states that it has a resistance of 5000 Ω /V. You need to be able to measure a voltage of 277 volts. How much resistance should be inserted in series with the meter to make the 30-volt range indicate a full scale value of 300 volts?

Unit 10 Practical Applications You are an electrician on the job. You have been gives a multimeter that has the following AC voltage ranges: 30, 60, and 150. The meter states that it has a resistance of 5000 Ω/ V. You need to be able to measure a voltage of 277 volts. How much resistance should be inserted in series with the meter to make the 30-volt range indicate a full scale value of 300 volts?
The EMF of a battery is 4.5 volts. When it is connected to an external resistance of 12 ohms, the TPD is 4.3 volts. What is the internal resistance of the battery?
A light bulb is rated for 120 volts and 60 watts (it means that the light bulb dissipates 60 watts if it is connected to 120 volt source). If we connect two of them in series and power them up with 120 volts source as shown below. How much power is dissipated by each light bulb?
3. You are an electrician. You have been asked by a homeowner to install a lighted mirror in a bathroom. The mirror contains eight 40-watt lamps. Upon checking the service panel you discover that the bathroom circuit is connected to a single 120-volt, 20-ampere circuit breaker. At present, the circuit supplies power to an electric wall heater rated at 1000 watts, a ceiling fan with a light kit, and a light fixture over the mirror. The fan motor has a full-load current draw of 3.2 amperess and the light kit contains three 60-watt lamps. The light fixture presently installed over the mirror contains four 60-watt lamps. The homeowner asked whether the present light fixture over the mirror can be replaced by the lighted mirror. Assuming all loads are continuous, can the present circuit supply the power needed to operate all the loads without overloading the circuit?

A post light has a 120-volt, 60-watt lamp installed. The lamp has an expected lamp life of 1000 hours. The homeowner installed a dimmer ahead of the post light and leaves the dimmer set so the output voltage is 100 volts. The lamp burns slightly dimmer when operated at 100 volts, but this is not a problem. What is the expected lamp life when operated at 100 volts?____________________ ______________________________________ ______________________________________ ______________________________________

Question 4 An electrical circuit has a circuit breaker that is designed to trip if the current gets above 10 amps. The circuit currently has voltage of 120 volts and resistance of 20 ohms. What changes would you have to make to the voltage and/or resistance in order to get the circuit breaker to trip? A Half the voltage to 60 volts and keep resistance the same. B Double the voltage to 240 volts and keep resistance the same. C Double the resistance to 40 ohms and keep the voltage the same. D Double the voltage to 240 volts and the double the resistance to 40 ohms.
