During the calibration of a naval radar control system, engineers measure a continuous current of $1.5\text{ A}$ flowing through a series safety loop. The loop is energized by a $60\text{ V}$ direct current source and contains three elements: a $15\ \Omega$ current-limiting resistor ( $R_1$ ), a calibration rheostat ( $R_2$ ), and a primary sensor coil ( $R_3$ ). If the primary sensor coil dissipates exactly $36\text{ W}$ of power, what is the required resistance of the calibration rheostat ( $R_2$ )?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $9\ \Omega$

Cevap

The required resistance of the calibration rheostat is

9\ \Omega

.

In this series circuit, the total resistance must equal the source voltage divided by the total current (

60\text{ V} / 1.5\text{ A} = 40\ \Omega

). Since components are in series, they share the same

1.5\text{ A}

current. The sensor coil dissipates

36\text{ W}

, meaning its resistance is

P / I^2

(

36 / 2.25 = 16\ \Omega

). Subtracting the

15\ \Omega

resistor and the

16\ \Omega

coil from the

40\ \Omega

total leaves

9\ \Omega

for the calibration rheostat.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the total equivalent resistance of the series circuit using Ohm's Law.

R_T = \frac{V_T}{I_T} = \frac{60\text{ V}}{1.5\text{ A}} = 40\ \Omega

Total resistance is needed to find the missing component value in a series string.

2

Determine the resistance of the primary sensor coil (

R_3

) using the power formula

P = I^2R

.

R_3 = \frac{P}{I^2} = \frac{36\text{ W}}{(1.5\text{ A})^2} = \frac{36}{2.25} = 16\ \Omega

Since the circuit is in series, the full

1.5\text{ A}

current flows through all components, allowing the coil's resistance to be calculated from its power dissipation.

3

Subtract the known series resistances from the total resistance to find the rheostat's value (

R_2

).

R_2 = R_T - R_1 - R_3 = 40\ \Omega - 15\ \Omega - 16\ \Omega = 9\ \Omega

In a series circuit, total resistance is the sum of all individual resistances (

R_T = R_1 + R_2 + R_3

).

An artillery spotter is recording the impact distances (in meters) from a target center for five test rounds. The distances are $34$ , $41$ , $28$ , $52$ , and $40$ . A sixth round is fired. If the mean distance for all six rounds is exactly $41$ meters, what was the impact distance of the sixth round?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $51$

Cevap

The correct impact distance of the sixth round is

51

meters.

To find a missing value when the mean is known, you must work backward using the total sum. Since the mean of

6

rounds is

41

, their total sum must be

41 \times 6 = 246

. The sum of the first five rounds is

195

. Subtracting the current sum from the required total sum (

246 - 195

) reveals that the sixth round must be

51

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the required sum of the distances for all six rounds.

41 \times 6 = 246

The mean of a data set is its total sum divided by the number of items. To find the required total sum, multiply the target mean (

41

) by the total number of rounds (

6

).

2

Calculate the sum of the distances for the first five rounds.

34 + 41 + 28 + 52 + 40 = 195

This establishes the total distance that has already been accounted for by the initial test rounds.

3

Subtract the sum of the first five rounds from the required total sum to find the sixth round.

246 - 195 = 51

The difference between the total needed for all six rounds and the total already recorded gives the exact value required for the final round.

An AC step-down transformer has $600\text{ turns}$ on its primary winding and $50\text{ turns}$ on its secondary winding. The primary winding is connected to a $120\text{ V}$ AC source, and the secondary circuit delivers current to a load drawing $2.4\text{ A}$ . What is the current flowing in the primary winding?

0.2\text{ A}

0\text{ A}

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $0.2\text{ A}$

Cevap

0.2\text{ A}

In an ideal transformer, the ratio of primary current to secondary current is inversely proportional to the ratio of primary turns to secondary turns (

I_p / I_s = N_s / N_p

). Since the transformer has a

12:1

step-down turns ratio (

600/50 = 12

), the secondary voltage decreases by a factor of 12 while the primary current must be 12 times smaller than the secondary current:

I_p = 2.4\text{ A} / 12 = 0.2\text{ A}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the turns ratio between the primary and secondary windings

\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{600}{50} = 12

The turns ratio determines both the voltage transformation ratio and the inverse current transformation ratio.

2

Apply the transformer current relationship to solve for primary current (

I_p

)

\frac{I_p}{I_s} = \frac{N_s}{N_p} \implies I_p = 2.4\text{ A} \times \frac{50}{600} = \frac{2.4\text{ A}}{12} = 0.2\text{ A}

In an ideal transformer, power in equals power out (

V_p I_p = V_s I_s

), which means current is inversely proportional to the number of turns.

Doğru

Yanlış

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: False

Cevap

False

The statement is false because forward biasing a PN junction diode requires the anode (P-type material) to be at a higher positive potential than the cathode (N-type material). Applying a higher positive potential to the cathode places the diode in reverse bias, which widens the depletion layer and prevents current flow.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the relationship between diode terminals and semiconductor materials.

The anode is connected to the P-type semiconductor region, and the cathode is connected to the N-type semiconductor region.

Understanding terminal orientation is essential to determining how external voltage affects the internal PN junction barrier.

2

Evaluate the biasing condition described in the statement.

Connecting the cathode to a more positive potential than the anode creates a reverse-bias condition, widening the depletion region and preventing conventional current conduction.

For conduction to occur, the diode must be forward-biased by applying a more positive potential to the anode relative to the cathode.

An electronics technician connects three inductors in parallel across an AC filter circuit. The inductors have inductance values of $60\text{ mH}$ , $30\text{ mH}$ , and $20\text{ mH}$ , with negligible mutual inductance between them. What is the total equivalent inductance of the circuit in millihenries (mH)?

Cevap

The total equivalent inductance of the parallel circuit is

10\text{ mH}

.

Inductors in parallel without mutual coupling combine according to the reciprocal formula

\frac{1}{L_{\text{total}}} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2} + \frac{1}{L_3}

. Computing

\frac{1}{60} + \frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{20} = \frac{6}{60} = \frac{1}{10}

, and inverting yields

10\text{ mH}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

State the reciprocal formula for inductors connected in parallel

\frac{1}{L_{\text{total}}} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2} + \frac{1}{L_3}

When inductors are in parallel and uncoupled, the total rate of current change is the sum of the individual branch rates, resulting in a reciprocal combination rule identical to parallel resistors.

2

Substitute the individual inductance values

\frac{1}{L_{\text{total}}} = \frac{1}{60} + \frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{20}

Direct substitution of the known branch values:

L_1 = 60\text{ mH}

,

L_2 = 30\text{ mH}

, and

L_3 = 20\text{ mH}

.

3

Find the common denominator and sum the terms

\frac{1}{L_{\text{total}}} = \frac{1 + 2 + 3}{60} = \frac{6}{60} = \frac{1}{10}\text{ mH}^{-1}

Using the lowest common denominator (

60

) to perform fractional addition.

4

Invert the reciprocal to obtain equivalent inductance

L_{\text{total}} = 10\text{ mH}

Taking the reciprocal of

\frac{1}{10}\text{ mH}^{-1}

gives

10\text{ mH}

A $24\text{ V}$ DC power supply energizes a circuit consisting of a $100\,\Omega$ series resistor ( $R_1$ ) connected in series with a parallel network composed of two $200\,\Omega$ branch loads. Under normal operating conditions, the circuit draws $120\text{ mA}$ , dropping $12\text{ V}$ across $R_1$ and $12\text{ V}$ across the parallel network.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: An open circuit occurred in one of the two parallel branch loads.

Cevap

An open circuit occurred in one of the two parallel branch loads.

When one parallel branch develops an open circuit, current can only flow through the remaining

200\,\Omega

branch. This increases the equivalent parallel resistance from

100\,\Omega

to

200\,\Omega

, bringing total circuit resistance to

300\,\Omega

. By Ohm's law, total current drops to

I = \frac{24\text{ V}}{300\,\Omega} = 80\text{ mA}

. Consequently, the voltage across

R_1

drops to

8\text{ V}

(

80\text{ mA} \times 100\,\Omega

) while the parallel network drops the remaining

16\text{ V}

(

80\text{ mA} \times 200\,\Omega

).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze normal baseline circuit parameters.

Normal equivalent parallel resistance is

R_{\text{parallel}} = \frac{200\,\Omega \times 200\,\Omega}{200\,\Omega + 200\,\Omega} = 100\,\Omega

. Total normal resistance is

R_{\text{total}} = 100\,\Omega + 100\,\Omega = 200\,\Omega

. Normal current is

I = \frac{24\text{ V}}{200\,\Omega} = 120\text{ mA}

, producing equal

12\text{ V}

drops across

R_1

and the parallel bank.

Establishing normal values is required to determine whether total circuit resistance increased or decreased under fault conditions.

2

Calculate the faulted circuit's total resistance and component values using the measured readings.

With

I_{\text{measured}} = 80\text{ mA}

and

V_{\text{source}} = 24\text{ V}

, total circuit resistance is

R_{\text{total, fault}} = \frac{24\text{ V}}{0.08\text{ A}} = 300\,\Omega

. Since

R_1

drops

8\text{ V}

at

80\text{ mA}

(

R_1 = \frac{8\text{ V}}{0.08\text{ A}} = 100\,\Omega

, unchanged), the parallel bank now exhibits

R_{\text{parallel, fault}} = \frac{16\text{ V}}{0.08\text{ A}} = 200\,\Omega

.

Ohm's law confirms where the additional resistance is located.

3

Determine the physical fault that produces a

200\,\Omega

parallel bank resistance.

Because each individual branch load is rated at

200\,\Omega

, an equivalent resistance of

200\,\Omega

across the bank means only one

200\,\Omega

branch is conducting, indicating the other branch has an open circuit.

Removing one branch of a two-branch identical parallel network doubles the network's equivalent resistance to the value of the remaining single branch.

In a series-parallel circuit, an open fault in a parallel branch increases total circuit resistance, reduces total line current, and causes a higher proportion of the source voltage to drop across the parallel section.

The total electrical resistance of the relay coil is

480\text{ }\Omega

.

According to Ohm's Law, resistance is determined by dividing voltage by current (

R = \frac{V}{I}

). First, converting the current from milliamperes to amperes gives

75\text{ mA} = 0.075\text{ A}

. Dividing the

36\text{ V}

supply by

0.075\text{ A}

yields a resistance of

1

Convert the measured current from milliamperes to base amperes.

I = 75\text{ mA} = 75 \times 10^{-3}\text{ A} = 0.075\text{ A}

Apply Ohm's law rearranged to solve for resistance (

R = \frac{V}{I}

Cevap: Electrons move from the negative terminal, through the radio, toward the positive terminal.

Cevap

Electrons move from the negative terminal, through the radio, toward the positive terminal.

In solid metallic conductors, electric current is the physical drift of free electrons. Because electrons have a negative charge, they are repelled by the negative terminal of the DC power source and attracted toward the positive terminal through the external circuit.

Electrons carry a negative charge and are therefore repelled by the negative battery terminal and attracted toward the positive terminal.

Like charges repel and opposite charges attract.

A specialized weather station telemetry circuit is powered by a $96\text{ V}$ direct current (DC) power source connected in series with four resistive components: a surge-limiting resistor $R_1 = 18\ \Omega$ , a status indicator $R_2 = 27\ \Omega$ , a variable humidity sensor $R_3$ , and a reference resistor $R_4 = 15\ \Omega$ . A technician measures the voltage drop across the status indicator ( $R_2$ ) to be $21.6\text{ V}$ . What is the resistance of the humidity sensor $R_3$ in ohms ( $\Omega$ )?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 60

Cevap

The resistance of the humidity sensor

R_3

is

60\ \Omega

.

In a series circuit, current is uniform throughout the entire loop. Using the measured voltage drop across

R_2

(

21.6\text{ V}

) and its known resistance (

27\ \Omega

), the loop current is

I = \frac{V_2}{R_2} = \frac{21.6\text{ V}}{27\ \Omega} = 0.8\text{ A}

. The total equivalent resistance connected across the

96\text{ V}

source is

R_T = \frac{V_{\text{source}}}{I} = \frac{96\text{ V}}{0.8\text{ A}} = 120\ \Omega

. Because series resistances are directly additive (

R_T = R_1 + R_2 + R_3 + R_4

), the unknown resistance is determined by subtracting the known values from the total:

R_3 = 120\ \Omega - (18\ \Omega + 27\ \Omega + 15\ \Omega) = 120\ \Omega - 60\ \Omega = 60\ \Omega

.

Cevap: Increasing the electric current flowing through the coil

Cevap

Increasing the electric current flowing through the coil

The magnetic field strength of an electromagnet depends directly on the magnitude of the electric current flowing through the windings, the number of wire turns, and the permeability of the core material. Increasing the current directly increases the magnetic flux density.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the factors determining the magnetic field strength of an electromagnet

The field strength of a solenoid or electromagnet depends directly on the electric current, the number of coil turns, and the magnetic permeability of the core.

Electromagnetic flux density is directly proportional to ampere-turns (

I \times N

) and core permeability.

2

Evaluate the proposed modification against the operational formula

Raising the current (

I

) increases the total magnetomotive force (

MMF = N \cdot I

), thereby producing a stronger magnetic field.

Greater electron movement generates more concentric magnetic lines of force around each loop of wire.

An electronics technician is analyzing a circuit where a heavy-duty relay coil is controlled by a mechanical switch connected to a 24V DC power supply. Every time the switch is opened to turn off the relay, a visible spark arcs across the switch contacts, eventually causing them to fail. What electromagnetic principle primarily causes this arcing, and how does the coil's magnetic field behave to produce it?

Self-induction; the sudden interruption of current causes the coil's magnetic field to collapse rapidly, inducing a high-voltage counter-EMF that bridges the switch gap.

Capacitive discharge; the relay coil stores electrostatic energy while powered and instantly releases this accumulated charge when the circuit is broken.

Continuous electromagnetic induction; the steady DC source creates an oscillating magnetic field in the coil that sustains the electron flow even after the contacts separate.

Short circuit generation; opening the switch removes the circuit's resistance, causing the coil to draw infinite current from the power supply which arcs across the gap.

Cevap: Self-induction; the sudden interruption of current causes the coil's magnetic field to collapse rapidly, inducing a high-voltage counter-EMF that bridges the switch gap.

Cevap

Self-induction; the sudden interruption of current causes the coil's magnetic field to collapse rapidly, inducing a high-voltage counter-EMF that bridges the switch gap.

The phenomenon described is known as inductive kickback or back-EMF, which is a direct result of self-induction. An inductor (like a relay coil) opposes any change in current. When the switch is opened, the current attempts to drop to zero instantly. The magnetic field surrounding the coil collapses rapidly. According to Faraday's Law, this rapid change in magnetic flux induces a very large voltage spike across the coil. This spike is often much higher than the original 24V supply and is strong enough to ionize the air in the small gap of the opening switch, creating an electrical arc.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze the components and their state before the switch opens.

The relay coil acts as an inductor. When powered by 24V DC, a steady current flows, and energy is stored in a stable magnetic field around the coil.

Understanding the initial steady-state condition is required to determine what changes.

2

Determine the effect of opening the switch.

Opening the switch forces the current from the power supply to drop toward zero almost instantly.

Inductors oppose sudden changes in current flow.

3

Apply Faraday's Law of Induction to the changing field.

The rapid decrease in current causes the magnetic field to collapse at high speed. This high rate of change induces a very large voltage (counter-EMF) across the coil.

Induced voltage is directly proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux.

4

Relate the induced voltage to the physical arcing.

The induced high voltage (often hundreds of volts) easily exceeds the breakdown voltage of the tiny air gap between the separating switch contacts, causing the air to ionize and a spark to jump.

This explains the visible symptom (the spark) and the mechanism of failure.

A technician is troubleshooting a simple series circuit powered by a 12-volt DC battery and containing a single incandescent light bulb. When the switch is closed, the bulb does not light up. Measuring with a digital voltmeter directly across the bulb's socket terminals shows a reading of 12 volts. What fault condition does this measurement indicate?

A direct short circuit across the light bulb socket

An open circuit in the light bulb filament

A blown fuse at the battery positive terminal

An incorrect multimeter setting configured for resistance measurement

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: An open circuit in the light bulb filament

Cevap

An open circuit in the light bulb filament

When a filament burns out, it creates an open circuit. Because the circuit is open, current cannot flow (

I = 0\text{ A}

), meaning no voltage is dropped across the closed switch or connecting wires. Consequently, connecting a voltmeter across the open filament places the meter across the full potential of the 12-volt battery.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze the circuit state and the voltmeter reading.

The voltmeter measures the full supply voltage of

12\text{ V}

directly across the bulb terminals, yet no light is produced.

In a series circuit with an open fault, current flow ceases entirely (

I = 0\text{ A}

). With no current flowing, there are no voltage drops across any normal conductors or closed switches.

2

Apply voltage laws to identify the location of the open fault.

The full source potential difference (

12\text{ V}

) appears across the open gap in the filament.

According to Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, the sum of voltage drops must equal the source voltage. Because the open filament has infinite resistance compared to the wiring, the entire

12\text{ V}

drops across the break.

An open component in a series circuit stops all current flow and drops the full source voltage across its terminals.

Cevap

Ensure all electrical power to the circuit is completely disconnected and de-energized

A multimeter's ohmmeter or continuity function operates by applying a small internal voltage from its own battery across the component leads and measuring the resulting current flow. If external power is present, the external voltage interferes with the measurement circuitry, causes invalid readings, and risks blowing internal protective fuses or damaging the instrument. Therefore, disconnecting and verifying zero power is the primary safety rule.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the operating principle of a multimeter set to measure resistance (

\Omega

)

The meter outputs its own low internal DC voltage from an internal battery to pass a known test current through the component and calculate resistance via Ohm's Law (

R = \frac{V}{I}

).

Understanding how the meter measures resistance clarifies why external circuit power disrupts the measurement.

2

Determine the necessary condition of the circuit under test

The circuit must have zero external voltage and zero external current flow.

Any live voltage present on the test leads will alter the calculation, blow the meter's internal fuse, or pose an electrical hazard.

An electrical technician is testing an electromagnetic induction system where a straight copper conductor moves through a uniform, stationary magnetic field. According to Faraday's law of induction, which of the following actions will increase the magnitude of the electromotive force (EMF) induced across the conductor?

Moving the conductor parallel to the magnetic flux lines rather than perpendicular to them

Increasing the velocity at which the conductor cuts across the magnetic flux lines

Applying a steady direct current (DC) voltage across the conductor to maintain a static electric field

Replacing the copper conductor with a dielectric insulator to store electrostatic charge

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Increasing the velocity at which the conductor cuts across the magnetic flux lines

Cevap

Increasing the velocity at which the conductor cuts across the magnetic flux lines

According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the magnitude of induced voltage (

e

) across a conductor is determined by the formula

e = B \cdot l \cdot v \cdot \sin\theta

. Higher velocity (

v

) increases the rate of cutting magnetic flux lines (

\frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}

), thereby directly increasing the induced electromotive force.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the governing formula for induced electromotive force in a moving conductor.

e = B \cdot l \cdot v \cdot \sin\theta

, where

e

is induced EMF,

B

is magnetic flux density,

l

is conductor length,

v

is velocity, and

\theta

is the angle between velocity and the magnetic field.

Faraday's law dictates that induced voltage depends directly on the rate at which magnetic flux lines are cut.

2

Analyze how each parameter affects the magnitude of the induced EMF.

Increasing conductor velocity (

v

) directly increases

\frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}

(the rate of magnetic flux cutting), which proportionally increases the induced voltage (

e

).

Faster relative motion between the conductor and magnetic field lines generates greater electrical potential across the conductor.

A technician is testing a direct-current (DC) control circuit connected to a $20\text{ V}$ power supply. An ammeter in the loop indicates a steady current of $0.5\text{ A}$ . The circuit contains three resistors wired in series: two have fixed values of $12\ \Omega$ and $16\ \Omega$ , while the third is an unlabelled component. What is the resistance of the unlabelled resistor?

28\ \Omega

12\ \Omega

10\ \Omega

40\ \Omega

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $12\ \Omega$

Cevap

12\ \Omega

The correct answer of

12\ \Omega

is found by first calculating the total circuit resistance using Ohm's Law (

R_T = \frac{20\text{ V}}{0.5\text{ A}} = 40\ \Omega

). In a series circuit, total resistance is the sum of all individual components (

R_T = R_1 + R_2 + R_3

). Subtracting the two known values (

12\ \Omega + 16\ \Omega = 28\ \Omega

) from

40\ \Omega

leaves exactly

12\ \Omega

for the unlabelled resistor.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the total resistance (

R_T

) of the series circuit using Ohm's Law.

R_T = \frac{V_{\text{total}}}{I} = \frac{20\text{ V}}{0.5\text{ A}} = 40\ \Omega

The total resistance of a DC circuit is equal to the total applied voltage divided by the total circuit current.

2

Sum the resistances of the two known series resistors.

R_{\text{known}} = 12\ \Omega + 16\ \Omega = 28\ \Omega

In a series circuit, individual resistances add directly to form the total equivalent resistance.

3

Subtract the sum of the known resistors from the total circuit resistance to find the unknown resistance (

R_3

).

R_3 = R_T - R_{\text{known}} = 40\ \Omega - 28\ \Omega = 12\ \Omega

Because

R_T = R_1 + R_2 + R_3

, the unlabelled resistor's value is the remaining resistance needed to reach

40\ \Omega

.

Anahtar Kavram

In a DC series circuit, total resistance is the sum of all individual resistances (

R_T = R_1 + R_2 + \dots + R_n

), and the total current is determined by Ohm's Law (

I = \frac{V_T}{R_T}

).
