- Problem 2 Consider the circuit in Fig. 2 and perform the following: Calculate the voltage across each resistor and the current through each branch of the circuit. (Using Ohm’s law, KCL and KVL) Verify that the law of conservation of energy is satisfied by showing that the algebraic sum of power is zero. Provide LTspice circuit simulation to confirm results found in parts (a) and (b).arrow_forwardBasic Electrical Engineering A homeowner uses 100-watt incandescent lamps as a heater in an outside well pump house to protect the pump from freezing in cold weather. Unfortunately, however, the lamp can burn out and leave pump unprotected. You have been asked to install a hearth that will not burn out and leave the pump unprotected. You have available a 100-watt, 150-ohm wire-wound resistor. Can this resistor be connected to the 120-volt source without damage to the resistor? If so, what would be the power output of the resistor? (Hint: Use power formula)arrow_forward10. State and explain Thevenin’s theorem. By applying Thevenin’s theorem or otherewise, find the cur- rent through the resistance R and the voltage across it when connected as shown in Fig. 2.178. [60.49 A, 600.49 V]arrow_forward

Assuming that the battery has negligible internal resistance, calculate the equivalent resistance in the circuit, and (b) the current through each resistor.arrow_forwardThe resistance of gold wire used in circuits is usually negligible compared to the components in the circuit, and can be ignored. For long, thin wires, this is no longer true. Calculate the resistance, in ohms, of a length of gold wire, 46.6 cm long, with a cross sectional area of 2.5 mm2. The resistivity of gold is 2.35×10-8 Ω.m. Use 2 significant figures in your answer.arrow_forward

Four resistance each of R ohms and two resistances each of S ohms are connected (as shown in Fig. 2.50) to four terminasl AB and CD. A p.d. of V volts is applied across the terminals AB and a resis- tance of Z ohm is connected across the terminals CD. Find the value of Z in terms of S and R in order that the current at AB may be V/Z. Find also the relationship that must hold between R and S in order that the p.d. at the points EF be V/2.
