Cevap: 18

Cevap

The power dissipated by the

50\text{ }\Omega

load resistor is

18\text{ W}

.

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

30\text{ }\Omega + 50\text{ }\Omega = 80\text{ }\Omega

). With a

48\text{ V}

supply, the circuit current is

I = \frac{48\text{ V}}{80\text{ }\Omega} = 0.6\text{ A}

. The electrical power dissipated by the

50\text{ }\Omega

resistor is determined by

P = I^2 R = (0.6\text{ A})^2 \times 50\text{ }\Omega = 18\text{ W}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the equivalent total resistance of the series circuit

R_{\text{total}} = 30\text{ }\Omega + 50\text{ }\Omega = 80\text{ }\Omega

Resistances in a series circuit are directly additive to determine total opposition to current flow.

2

Calculate the total circuit current using Ohm's Law

I = \frac{V_{\text{total}}}{R_{\text{total}}} = \frac{48\text{ V}}{80\text{ }\Omega} = 0.6\text{ A}

Current is uniform throughout all components connected in a series loop.

3

Calculate the power dissipation in the load resistor using Watt's Law

P = I^2 \times R = (0.6\text{ A})^2 \times 50\text{ }\Omega = 0.36\text{ A}^2 \times 50\text{ }\Omega = 18\text{ W}

Power dissipated by a resistor is proportional to the square of the current flowing through it multiplied by its resistance.

A railway signal monitoring circuit is powered by a $72\text{ V}$ DC power supply. The circuit consists of three components connected in series: an $85\ \Omega$ relay coil, a $35\ \Omega$ surge-limiting resistor, and an unknown protective resistor $R_x$ . If the entire circuit draws a steady current of $0.4\text{ A}$ , what is the resistance of the protective resistor $R_x$ in ohms ( $\Omega$ )?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 60

Cevap

The resistance of the protective resistor

R_x

is

60\ \Omega

.

Applying Ohm's Law (

R_T = \frac{V_T}{I}

) gives a total series resistance of

180\ \Omega

. Since resistances in series add directly (

R_T = 85\ \Omega + 35\ \Omega + R_x = 120\ \Omega + R_x

), solving for the unknown yields

R_x = 180\ \Omega - 120\ \Omega = 60\ \Omega

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the total circuit resistance (

R_T

) using Ohm's Law.

R_T = \frac{V_{\text{source}}}{I_{\text{total}}} = \frac{72\text{ V}}{0.4\text{ A}} = 180\ \Omega

In a series circuit, total resistance equals total source voltage divided by total circuit current.

2

Determine the combined resistance of the known series components.

R_{\text{known}} = R_{\text{relay}} + R_{\text{surge}} = 85\ \Omega + 35\ \Omega = 120\ \Omega

Resistances in a series circuit are directly additive.

3

Subtract the known series resistance from the total circuit resistance to solve for

R_x

.

R_x = R_T - R_{\text{known}} = 180\ \Omega - 120\ \Omega = 60\ \Omega

The sum of all individual series resistors must equal the total equivalent resistance (

R_T = R_1 + R_2 + R_x

).

Anahtar Kavram

In a direct-current (DC) series circuit, current is identical through every component (

I_T = I_1 = I_2 = I_3

), and the total equivalent resistance is the arithmetic sum of all individual resistances (

R_T = R_1 + R_2 + \dots + R_n

).

Alternatif Yöntem

Find the voltage drops across the known components first:

V_{\text{relay}} = 0.4\text{ A} \times 85\ \Omega = 34\text{ V}

and

V_{\text{surge}} = 0.4\text{ A} \times 35\ \Omega = 14\text{ V}

. Subtract these from the total source voltage using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law:

V_{Rx} = 72\text{ V} - (34\text{ V} + 14\text{ V}) = 24\text{ V}

. Then find

R_x = \frac{V_{Rx}}{I} = \frac{24\text{ V}}{0.4\text{ A}} = 60\ \Omega

The total equivalent resistance of this parallel section is exactly $3\ \Omega$ .
A technician measures the current through the first branch to be $3\text{ A}$ .
The second branch has a known resistance of $24\ \Omega$ .

What is the resistance of the third branch in ohms?

Cevap: 6

Cevap

The resistance of the third branch is

6\ \Omega

.

The correct value is derived by finding the total circuit current (

8\text{ A}

) and subtracting the known branch currents (

3\text{ A}

and

1\text{ A}

) to find the current in the third branch (

4\text{ A}

). Dividing the common

24\text{ V}

source by this

4\text{ A}

current yields

6\ \Omega

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the total circuit current using the total voltage and equivalent resistance.

I_{total} = 24\text{ V} / 3\ \Omega = 8\text{ A}

Ohm's law applies to the entire circuit, linking total voltage, total current, and equivalent resistance.

2

Determine the current flowing through the second branch.

I_2 = 24\text{ V} / 24\ \Omega = 1\text{ A}

In a parallel circuit, the full source voltage drops across every branch. Ohm's law (

I = V/R

) gives the branch current.

3

Calculate the current flowing through the third branch.

I_3 = 8\text{ A} - (3\text{ A} + 1\text{ A}) = 4\text{ A}

Kirchhoff's Current Law states that the total current is the sum of the individual branch currents (

I_{total} = I_1 + I_2 + I_3

).

4

Calculate the resistance of the third branch.

R_3 = 24\text{ V} / 4\text{ A} = 6\ \Omega

Apply Ohm's law (

R = V/I

) specifically to the third branch using the source voltage and the calculated branch current.

Anahtar Kavram

Applying Ohm's law to both individual branches and the entire circuit, combined with parallel circuit rules for voltage and current.

Alternatif Yöntem

Use the parallel resistance reciprocal formula:

1/R_{eq} = 1/R_1 + 1/R_2 + 1/R_3

. First, find

R_1 = V/I_1 = 24\text{ V} / 3\text{ A} = 8\ \Omega

. Then, substitute the known values:

1/3 = 1/8 + 1/24 + 1/R_3

. Finding a common denominator of 24 gives

8/24 = 3/24 + 1/24 + 1/R_3

, which simplifies to

8/24 = 4/24 + 1/R_3

. Therefore,

1/R_3 = 4/24 = 1/6

, meaning

R_3 = 6\ \Omega

An avionics technician is servicing a step-down transformer in an aircraft subsystem. The transformer receives an input voltage of $115\text{ V AC}$ across its primary coil and delivers an output voltage of $23\text{ V AC}$ across its secondary coil. If the primary winding has $750\text{ turns}$ , what is the number of turns on the secondary winding?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 150

Cevap

150 turns

The relationship between primary and secondary voltage and turns in a transformer is

\frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{N_p}{N_s}

. Given a primary voltage of

115\text{ V AC}

and a secondary voltage of

23\text{ V AC}

, the transformer has a step-down ratio of

5:1

(

115 / 23 = 5

). Dividing the primary turns (

750

) by

5

gives

150\text{ turns}

for the secondary winding.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

State the fundamental transformer turns ratio formula relating voltage and winding turns.

\frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{N_p}{N_s}

The voltage induced across transformer windings is directly proportional to the number of turns on each winding.

2

Isolate the secondary turns variable (

N_s

).

N_s = N_p \times \frac{V_s}{V_p}

Algebraic rearrangement allows direct calculation of the secondary coil turns.

3

Substitute the given values (

V_p = 115\text{ V AC}

,

V_s = 23\text{ V AC}

,

N_p = 750\text{ turns}

) and simplify.

N_s = 750 \times \frac{23}{115} = 750 \times 0.2 = 150\text{ turns}

The voltage reduction factor is

5:1

, meaning the secondary winding must have one-fifth the number of turns of the primary winding.

Add all three individual branch currents together to determine the total current.

I_{\text{total}} = 4\text{ A} + 2\text{ A} + 1\text{ A} = 7\text{ A}

By Kirchhoff's Current Law, the total current leaving the power supply equals the sum of the currents through all parallel branches.

The horizontal axis represents time, and the timebase setting indicates the duration per division.

2

Calculate the period (

T

) of a single cycle.

T = \frac{2000\text{ }\mu\text{s}}{2.5\text{ cycles}} = 800\text{ }\mu\text{s} = 800 \times 10^{-6}\text{ s} = 0.0008\text{ s}

f = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{40 \times 10^{-6}\text{ s}} = 25{}000\text{ Hz}

), which equals

25\text{ kHz}

1

Multiply the number of horizontal graticule divisions per cycle by the time base setting to find the period (

T

).

T = 5\text{ divisions} \times 8\text{ }\mu\text{s/div} = 40\text{ }\mu\text{s} = 40 \times 10^{-6}\text{ s}

Horizontal divisions represent the time dimension on an oscilloscope display.

To find a missing value when the mean is known, first determine the total sum required by multiplying the target mean (14) by the total number of data points (5), which equals 70. Next, add the known values from the first four days (12 + 16 + 11 + 13 = 52). Finally, subtract the sum of the known values from the total required sum (70 - 52 = 18). Therefore, 18 work orders must be completed on the fifth day.

An electrical technician replaces this conductor with another copper conductor of the same composition having a length of $90\text{ meters}$ and a cross-sectional area of $1.5\text{ mm}^2$ . What is the electrical resistance of the replacement conductor, in ohms ( $\Omega$ )?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1.02

Cevap

1.02 ohms (

\Omega

)

Resistance depends directly on conductor length and inversely on cross-sectional area. The length decreases by a factor of

\frac{90}{150} = 0.60

, while the cross-sectional area decreases by a factor of

\frac{1.5}{3.0} = 0.50

, which doubles the resistance contribution (factor of

2.0

). Multiplying the original resistance by both factors gives

0.85\ \Omega \times 0.60 \times 2.0 = 1.02\ \Omega

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

State the governing formula for electrical resistance of a uniform conductor.

R = \rho \frac{L}{A}

, where

\rho

is material resistivity,

L

is conductor length, and

A

is cross-sectional area.

Since both conductors are made of identical copper, resistivity

\rho

remains constant, making resistance directly proportional to length and inversely proportional to cross-sectional area.

2

Determine the scaling factor resulting from the change in length.

Length factor

= \frac{L_2}{L_1} = \frac{90\text{ m}}{150\text{ m}} = 0.60

.

Decreasing conductor length proportionally reduces resistance to 60% of its initial value.

3

Determine the scaling factor resulting from the change in cross-sectional area.

Area factor

= \frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{3.0\text{ mm}^2}{1.5\text{ mm}^2} = 2.0

.

Halving the cross-sectional area doubles the resistance due to inverse proportionality.

4

Calculate the final resistance of the replacement wire.

R_2 = 0.85\ \Omega \times 0.60 \times 2.0 = 1.02\ \Omega

.

Combine the independent effects of length and cross-sectional area changes on the original resistance.

Anahtar Kavram

The electrical resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area (

R = \rho \frac{L}{A}

).

An emergency egress lighting system operates from a $50\text{ V}$ direct-current (DC) power source connected across two parallel branch circuits. Branch 1 contains an LED driver with an effective resistance of $25\ \Omega$ . If the total current drawn from the power source is $3\text{ A}$ , what is the resistance, in ohms ( $\Omega$ ), of Branch 2?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 50

Cevap

The resistance of Branch 2 is

50\ \Omega

.

In a parallel circuit, each branch receives the full source voltage of

50\text{ V}

. Branch 1 draws

I_1 = \frac{50\text{ V}}{25\ \Omega} = 2\text{ A}

. Since the total current is

3\text{ A}

, Branch 2 must draw

I_2 = 3\text{ A} - 2\text{ A} = 1\text{ A}

. Applying Ohm's Law to Branch 2 gives

R_2 = \frac{50\text{ V}}{1\text{ A}} = 50\ \Omega

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the voltage across each parallel branch.

V_1 = V_2 = 50\text{ V}

In any parallel circuit configuration, the full source voltage appears equally across every individual parallel branch.

2

Calculate the current flowing through Branch 1 using Ohm's Law (

I = \frac{V}{R}

).

I_1 = \frac{50\text{ V}}{25\ \Omega} = 2\text{ A}

Ohm's Law allows solving for branch current when branch voltage and resistance are known.

3

Calculate the remaining current flowing through Branch 2 by subtracting Branch 1 current from total line current.

I_2 = 3\text{ A} - 2\text{ A} = 1\text{ A}

According to Kirchhoff's Current Law, total current entering a parallel network must equal the sum of all individual branch currents (

I_{\text{total}} = I_1 + I_2

).

4

Calculate the resistance of Branch 2 using Ohm's Law (

R = \frac{V}{I}

).

R_2 = \frac{50\text{ V}}{1\text{ A}} = 50\ \Omega

Dividing the branch voltage by the branch current yields the branch's effective resistance.

An electromagnetic security gate lock operates on an $18\text{ V}$ direct-current (DC) power source. When fully energized, the lock draws a steady current of $250\text{ mA}$ . What is the electrical resistance of the lock in ohms ( $\Omega$ )?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 72

Cevap

The electrical resistance of the electromagnetic lock is

72\ \Omega

.

According to Ohm's Law (

V = I \times R

), resistance is found by dividing the potential difference by the current (

R = \frac{V}{I}

). Converting

250\text{ mA}

to

0.25\text{ A}

and dividing

18\text{ V}

by

0.25\text{ A}

yields exactly

72\ \Omega

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the current measurement from milliamperes (

\text{mA}

) to amperes (

\text{A}

).

I = 250\text{ mA} = 0.25\text{ A}

Ohm's Law calculations require current in base SI units (amperes) to yield resistance in ohms.

2

Rearrange Ohm's Law (

V = I \times R

) to isolate resistance (

R

).

R = \frac{V}{I}

Resistance is equal to the applied electromotive force (voltage) divided by the resulting current flow.

3

Substitute the given voltage and converted current into the formula and solve.

R = \frac{18\text{ V}}{0.25\text{ A}} = 72\ \Omega

Dividing

18\text{ V}

by

0.25\text{ A}

gives the total circuit resistance in ohms.

Anahtar Kavram

Ohm's Law states that resistance (

R

) equals voltage (

V

) divided by current (

I

), represented by the formula

R = \frac{V}{I}

A cylindrical water storage tank is filled to a depth of $4\text{ meters}$ , creating a hydrostatic pressure of $40,000\text{ Pascals}$ at the tank's flat bottom. If water is drained from the tank until the depth is exactly $1\text{ meter}$ , what is the new hydrostatic pressure at the bottom in Pascals? (Assume the density of water and gravity remain constant.)

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 10000

Cevap

10000

Because hydrostatic pressure is directly proportional to depth (

P = \rho g h

), reducing the depth to one-fourth of its original value (

1\text{ meter}

instead of

4\text{ meters}

) also reduces the pressure exactly to one-fourth of its original value (

40,000 / 4 = 10,000

).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the relationship between hydrostatic pressure and fluid depth.

Hydrostatic pressure is directly proportional to depth (

P \propto h

) when density and gravity are constant.

This fundamental principle allows us to solve the problem using a simple ratio.

2

Calculate the pressure per unit of depth.

\frac{40,000\text{ Pascals}}{4\text{ meters}} = 10,000\text{ Pascals per meter}

.

Finding the rate of pressure change per meter simplifies the calculation for the new depth.

3

Multiply the pressure per meter by the new depth.

10,000\text{ Pascals/meter} \times 1\text{ meter} = 10,000\text{ Pascals}

.

This yields the final pressure at the reduced depth.

Anahtar Kavram

Hydrostatic pressure is directly proportional to the depth of the fluid.

A specialized alloy heating wire has a length of $40\text{ meters}$ , a uniform cross-sectional area of $0.8\text{ mm}^2$ , and a material resistivity of $2.5 \times 10^{-7}\ \Omega\cdot\text{m}$ . What is the total electrical resistance of this wire in ohms ( $\Omega$ )?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 12.5

Cevap

12.5 Ω

The electrical resistance of a uniform conductor is determined by

R = \rho \frac{L}{A}

. Converting

0.8\text{ mm}^2

to

8 \times 10^{-7}\text{ m}^2

and substituting

L = 40\text{ m}

along with

\rho = 2.5 \times 10^{-7}\ \Omega\cdot\text{m}

yields

\frac{(2.5 \times 10^{-7})(40)}{8 \times 10^{-7}} = 12.5\ \Omega

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the cross-sectional area from square millimeters to square meters.

A = 0.8\text{ mm}^2 = 0.8 \times 10^{-6}\text{ m}^2 = 8 \times 10^{-7}\text{ m}^2

Resistivity is given in ohm-meters (

\Omega\cdot\text{m}

), requiring all geometric dimensions to be in standard SI units (meters and square meters).

2

Apply the fundamental resistance formula relating resistivity, length, and cross-sectional area.

R = \rho \frac{L}{A}

The total resistance of a uniform conductor is directly proportional to its resistivity and length, and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area.

3

Substitute the known values into the equation and solve for resistance.

R = \frac{(2.5 \times 10^{-7}\ \Omega\cdot\text{m})(40\text{ m})}{8 \times 10^{-7}\text{ m}^2} = \frac{100 \times 10^{-7}}{8 \times 10^{-7}} = 12.5\ \Omega

Canceling the common power factor

10^{-7}

simplifies the expression to

100 / 8 = 12.5\ \Omega

A $24\text{ V}$ direct-current (DC) power bus supplies two cooling fans connected in parallel inside a communications cabinet. The primary fan draws a steady branch current of $3\text{ A}$ , while the secondary fan has an internal resistance of $12\text{ }\Omega$ . What is the total current, in amperes ( $\text{A}$ ), delivered by the power bus to the parallel circuit?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 5

Cevap

The total current delivered by the power bus is

5\text{ A}

.

In a parallel DC circuit, the source voltage (

24\text{ V}

) is applied directly across each branch. The secondary branch current is found using Ohm's law:

I_2 = \frac{24\text{ V}}{12\text{ }\Omega} = 2\text{ A}

. Adding the known primary branch current (

3\text{ A}

) to the secondary branch current (

2\text{ A}

) yields the total source current of

5\text{ A}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the voltage across the secondary branch

Voltage across the secondary fan is

24\text{ V}

In any parallel circuit, every branch experiences the identical full source voltage (

V_{\text{total}} = V_1 = V_2

).

2

Calculate the secondary branch current (

I_2

) using Ohm's law

I_2 = \frac{24\text{ V}}{12\text{ }\Omega} = 2\text{ A}

Ohm's law states that current equals voltage divided by resistance (

I = \frac{V}{R}

).

3

Sum all individual branch currents to determine total circuit current

I_{\text{total}} = 3\text{ A} + 2\text{ A} = 5\text{ A}

Total current in a parallel circuit is the sum of the individual branch currents (

I_{\text{total}} = I_1 + I_2

).
