Find the equivalent resistance for the infinite network shown in Figure P2.12(a). Because of its form, this network is called a semi-infinite ladder. [Hint: If another section is added to the ladder as shown in Figure P2.12(b), the equivalent resistance is the same. Thus, working from Figure P2.12(b), we can write an expression for Req in terms of Req.Then, we can solve for Req.
A solar cell with a reverse saturation current of 5 nA is illuminated such that the short-circuit current is Isc = 200 mA.a. Plot I-V and obtain the voltage at maximum delivered power.b. Assume that this cell has a series resistance of 1 Ohm, so that the cell voltage is reduced by the IR drop. Replot the I-V curve for this case and compare with the plot in a.
Consider the circuit shown in the figure. The resistance of the wire used to make the inductor L is negligible compared to the resistors in the circuit. V=16 V, R1=14Ω, R2=105 Ω, and L=2 H.
A) Assume that switch S has been closed for a long time so that steady currents exist in the circuit. Find the current being delivered by the battery, the current going through resistor R2 and the current going through the inductor.
B) Now let's open the switch. Find the initial voltage across the inductor immediately after we open the switch.
C) Let's suppose it has been 0.020 seconds since we opened the switch. Find the current through the inductor.
