An industrial temperature sensor module with a calibrated internal resistance of $4.5\text{ k}\Omega$ draws a steady direct current of $8\text{ mA}$ during normal operation. What is the voltage drop across the sensor module in volts ( $\text{V}$ )?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 36

Cevap

The voltage drop across the sensor module is

36\text{ V}

.

According to Ohm's Law, voltage (

V

) equals current (

I

) multiplied by resistance (

R

). Given

I = 8\text{ mA} = 0.008\text{ A}

and

R = 4.5\text{ k}\Omega = 4500\text{ }\Omega

, the calculation is

V = 0.008\text{ A} \times 4500\text{ }\Omega = 36\text{ V}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the given metric prefixes to standard base units (amperes and ohms).

I = 8\text{ mA} = 8 \times 10^{-3}\text{ A} = 0.008\text{ A}

and

R = 4.5\text{ k}\Omega = 4.5 \times 10^{3}\text{ }\Omega = 4500\text{ }\Omega

Ohm's law requires fundamental SI units (volts, amperes, and ohms) for accurate mathematical evaluation.

2

Select the appropriate form of Ohm's Law to calculate voltage (

V

).

V = I \times R

Voltage across a resistive load equals the product of the current flowing through it and its resistance.

3

Substitute the converted values into the formula and solve.

V = 0.008\text{ A} \times 4500\text{ }\Omega = 36\text{ V}

Multiplying

8 \times 10^{-3}\text{ A}

by

4.5 \times 10^{3}\text{ }\Omega

simplifies directly to

8 \times 4.5 = 36\text{ V}

because the metric prefixes milli (

10^{-3}

) and kilo (

10^{3}

) cancel each other.

Cevap

Electron Flow Theory matches the movement of negative charge carriers from negative to positive; Conventional Current Theory matches the historical assumption of flow from positive to negative; Electric Current matches the rate of charge flow over time; One Ampere matches one coulomb of charge per second.

Each electrical term accurately maps to its standard scientific definition: Electron Flow describes negative electrons drifting toward the positive terminal; Conventional Current describes the standard positive-to-negative circuit model; Electric Current represents the rate of charge flow (

I = Q/t

); and One Ampere specifically equals one coulomb passing a given point in one second (

1\text{ C/s}

).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the physical reality of electron drift versus historical convention.

Electrons are negatively charged, so they drift from negative to positive (Electron Flow). Conventional current historically assumes flow from positive to negative.

Clear differentiation between historical convention and physical subatomic movement is foundational in electrical fundamentals.

2

Define the quantity of electric current.

Current (

I

) represents the rate of charge (

Q

) flow per unit time (

t

), yielding

I = \frac{Q}{t}

.

Current measures the flow rate of charge through a conductor, not electrical pressure or potential difference.

3

Relate the ampere to fundamental SI electrical units.

1\text{ ampere} = 1\text{ coulomb per second}

(

1\text{ A} = 1\text{ C/s}

).

The ampere quantifies current flow as a unit of coulombs transferred over time in seconds.

Anahtar Kavram

Fundamental definitions of electric current, charge rate, ampere units, and directional flow models.

Alternatif Yöntem

Recall the fundamental dimensional relationships: Current is

I = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t}

, so its unit (

1\text{ A}

) must be equal to

\frac{1\text{ C}}{1\text{ s}}

. Then remember that because electrons possess a negative charge, like charges repel and opposite charges attract, forcing them to move away from the negative terminal toward the positive terminal.

Cevap

Electrical Resistance matches the total opposition of a specific component in ohms; Material Resistivity matches the intrinsic geometry-independent material property; American Wire Gauge matches the inverse sizing scale where smaller numbers mean thicker wire; and Positive Temperature Coefficient matches the increase in resistance as temperature rises.

Each electrical concept matches its core definition: Electrical Resistance (

R

) is the total opposition to current flow in ohms; Material Resistivity (

\rho

) is the intrinsic material property; American Wire Gauge (AWG) is the inverse sizing standard where smaller numbers indicate thicker conductors; and a Positive Temperature Coefficient defines the increase of resistance with rising temperature.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Distinguish between total electrical resistance and intrinsic material resistivity.

Electrical resistance (

R

) is the overall opposition in a specific conductor measured in ohms (

\Omega

), while resistivity (

\rho

) is the inherent property of the material itself.

Total resistance depends on both the material's resistivity and its physical dimensions according to

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

.

2

Analyze standard conductor sizing and thermal behavior principles.

AWG numbers inversely scale with conductor diameter (smaller number = thicker wire), and a positive temperature coefficient means resistance rises with heat.

Wire gauge dictates cross-sectional area, and thermal excitation in metals increases electron collisions, raising resistance.

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.

Cevap: Increasing the operating temperature of the wire

Cevap

Increasing the operating temperature of the wire causes an increase in its electrical resistance.

In metallic conductors, electrical resistance increases as temperature rises. The added thermal energy causes the atoms in the metal lattice to vibrate more vigorously, resulting in more frequent collisions with moving free electrons and hindering the flow of electric current.

A magnetic field is generated around a conductor only when alternating current (AC) flows through it, whereas direct current (DC) produces no magnetic field.

Doğru

Yanlış

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: False

Cevap

False

The statement is false because any flow of electric current through a conductor creates a magnetic field. Direct current (DC) produces a steady, non-fluctuating magnetic field around the wire, while alternating current (AC) produces an expanding and collapsing magnetic field.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the fundamental relationship between electric current and magnetic fields.

Electric current is the movement of electric charge, and any moving charge produces a magnetic field around its path.

This is the core principle of electromagnetism discovered by Hans Christian Oersted.

2

Evaluate the behavior of direct current (DC) in a conductor.

A steady direct current produces a steady, stationary magnetic field forming concentric circular lines of flux around the conductor.

A constant current still consists of moving electrical charges, which continuously maintain a magnetic field.

3

Distinguish between magnetic field generation and electromagnetic induction.

While electromagnetic induction (generating a voltage in another conductor) requires a changing magnetic field (such as from AC), generating a magnetic field itself requires only the presence of electric current.

Confusing field generation with transformer induction leads to the false belief that DC cannot produce magnetism.

Cevap

Electron Flow Theory pairs with the physical drift of negative charge carriers from negative to positive; Conventional Current Theory pairs with the classical convention of positive charge moving from positive to negative; Electric Current Rate (

1\text{ A}

) pairs with one coulomb passing per second; and Total Electric Charge (

1\text{ C}

) pairs with the quantity of charge from

6.24 \times 10^{18}

electrons.

Each concept accurately reflects its physical and scientific definition: electron flow describes negative carriers moving negative-to-positive, conventional flow describes positive-to-negative modeling, an ampere defines charge rate per second, and a coulomb defines total accumulated electron charge.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Differentiate between the two current flow directional models

Electron flow represents actual negative charge carriers moving from negative to positive terminals, while conventional flow designates positive charge moving from positive to negative terminals.

Clear separation of physical electron movement from historical circuit conventions prevents directional polarity errors.

2

Distinguish rate of flow (current) from static quantity of charge

Current measured in amperes (

1\text{ A} = 1\text{ C/s}

) represents the rate of charge transfer, whereas charge measured in coulombs (

1\text{ C} \approx 6.24 \times 10^{18}\text{ electrons}

) represents the accumulated charge quantity.

Differentiating rate (

I = Q/t

) from total charge (

Q

) is fundamental to quantitative circuit analysis.

3

Verify all four concept-to-definition pairings

Each electrical concept on the left uniquely and unambiguously aligns with its physical definition on the right.

Ensures complete matching accuracy without conceptual overlap.

Anahtar Kavram

Electric current is the time rate of charge flow through a conductor (

I = Q/t

), where electrons physically drift from negative to positive potentials while conventional current is modeled from positive to negative.

Cevap

Copper, Germanium, Rubber

Metals like copper have a high concentration of free electrons, making them excellent conductors. Group IV elements such as germanium act as semiconductors with intermediate conductivity. Non-metallic compounds like rubber hold their electrons tightly in covalent structures, acting as insulators with the lowest conductivity.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the conductor among the materials

Copper is identified as a conductor with high electrical conductivity.

Conductors have loosely bound valence electrons that move freely under an applied voltage.

2

Identify the semiconductor among the materials

Germanium is identified as a semiconductor with moderate electrical conductivity.

Semiconductors have four valence electrons and exhibit conductivity between conductors and insulators.

3

Identify the insulator among the materials

Rubber is identified as an insulator with extremely low electrical conductivity.

Insulators hold valence electrons tightly, offering very high resistance to current flow.

4

Sequence the materials from highest to lowest electrical conductivity

Copper (conductor)

\rightarrow

Germanium (semiconductor)

An automated assembly fixture uses an industrial direct current (DC) solenoid valve to actuate a pneumatic clamp. The solenoid coil has an internal resistance of $600\text{ }\Omega$ and requires a steady current of $35\text{ mA}$ to operate reliably. What DC voltage must the power supply deliver to the solenoid valve?

17.1\text{ V}

2.1\text{ V}

21\text{ V}

21,000\text{ V}

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $21\text{ V}$

Cevap

21\text{ V}

According to Ohm's Law, voltage is calculated by multiplying current by resistance (

V = I \times R

). Converting the current from milliamperes to amperes gives

35\text{ mA} = 0.035\text{ A}

. Multiplying

0.035\text{ A} \times 600\text{ }\Omega

results in

21\text{ V}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the operating current from milliamperes (

\text{mA}

) to base amperes (

\text{A}

).

35\text{ mA} = \frac{35}{1,000}\text{ A} = 0.035\text{ A}

Ohm's Law calculations require electrical quantities in standard SI base units.

2

Apply Ohm's Law (

V = I \times R

) to find the required supply voltage.

V = 0.035\text{ A} \times 600\text{ }\Omega = 21\text{ V}

Voltage equals the product of current and resistance.
