Chapter 4, Problem 18P

Sketch the internal resistance characteristics of a device that has an internal resistance of 20 Ω from 0 to 10 V, an internal resistance of 4 Ω from 10 V to 15 V, and an internal resistance of 1 Ω for any voltage greater than 15 V. Use a horizontal scale that extends from 0 to 20 V and a vertical scale that permits plotting the current for all values of voltage from 0 to 20 V.

A battery with a terminal voltage of Vab = 9 V is connected to a circuit having three 10-ohm and one 5-ohm resistors all in series. Assuming that the battery has negligible internal resistance, calculate the equivalent resistance in the circuit, and (b) the current through each resistor.
A voltmeter of 1000 Ω internal resistance and ammeter of 3 Ω internal resistance are usedto measure an unknown resistance by AV methods. If the voltmeter reads 60 V andammeter reads 200 mA, calculate the percentage error for two different AV methods asfollows:(a) The voltmeter is put across the resistance only and the ammeter connected in serieswith the supply.(b) The voltmeter is connected across the supply side and ammeter connected directly inseries with the resistance.
Assuming you have a 6V battery and a 1.5V flashlight bulb which draws 0.5A when the bulb voltage is 1.5V. Design a network of resistors to go between the battery and the bulb to give VS=1.5V when the bulb is connected yet ensures that VS does not rise above 2V when the bulb is disconnected,,
