A DC workbench circuit connected to a fixed-voltage power supply draws a current of $8\text{ mA}$ through a $1.5\text{ k}\Omega$ resistor. If the resistor is replaced with a $6.0\text{ k}\Omega$ resistor while the supply voltage remains unchanged, what is the new current flowing through the circuit?

32\text{ mA}

2\text{ mA}

12\text{ mA}

2\text{ A}

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $2\text{ mA}$

Cevap

2\text{ mA}

The correct current is

2\text{ mA}

. First, applying Ohm's Law to the initial state yields a constant supply voltage of

V = I \times R = (8\text{ mA}) \times (1.5\text{ k}\Omega) = 12\text{ V}

. When the resistance increases to

6.0\text{ k}\Omega

, the new current is calculated as

I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{12\text{ V}}{6.0\text{ k}\Omega} = 2\text{ mA}

. Proportional reasoning confirms this: quadrupling resistance at constant voltage reduces current to one-fourth of its initial value (

8\text{ mA} \div 4 = 2\text{ mA}

).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the fixed supply voltage (

V

) using the initial current and resistance values.

V = I_1 \times R_1 = (8\text{ mA}) \times (1.5\text{ k}\Omega) = (0.008\text{ A}) \times (1500\ \Omega) = 12\text{ V}

Ohm's Law states that voltage is the product of current and resistance.

2

Calculate the new current (

I_2

) using the constant supply voltage and the new resistance value.

I_2 = \frac{V}{R_2} = \frac{12\text{ V}}{6.0\text{ k}\Omega} = \frac{12\text{ V}}{6000\ \Omega} = 0.002\text{ A} = 2\text{ mA}

Current equals voltage divided by resistance. Alternatively, since resistance increased by a factor of 4 (

1.5\text{ k}\Omega

to

6.0\text{ k}\Omega

) at constant voltage, current must decrease by a factor of 4 (

8\text{ mA} / 4 = 2\text{ mA}

).

). Next, calculate the total target resistance needed to limit the current to

2 \text{ mA}

(

R = \frac{24 \text{ V}}{0.002 \text{ A}} = 12 \text{ k}\Omega

). Finally, subtract the existing resistance from the target total to find the additional series resistance required (

12 \text{ k}\Omega - 3 \text{ k}\Omega = 9 \text{ k}\Omega

).

Ohm's Law is applied again to determine the total resistance needed for the new current requirement.

3

Determine the additional resistance needed by subtracting the initial resistance from the target total resistance.

12 \text{ k}\Omega - 3 \text{ k}\Omega = 9 \text{ k}\Omega

Resistors in series add together (

R_{total} = R_1 + R_{added}

). To find the added portion, subtract the existing resistance from the total.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the given resistance from kilo-ohms to base ohms

R = 1.2\text{ k}\Omega = 1.2 \times 10^3\text{ }\Omega = 1200\text{ }\Omega

Standard electrical calculations using Ohm's law require values to be expressed in SI base units (volts, amperes, and ohms).

2

Apply Ohm's law formula to solve for current (

I

)

I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{72\text{ V}}{1200\text{ }\Omega} = 0.06\text{ A}

Current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.

3

Convert the current from amperes to milliamperes

I = 0.06\text{ A} \times 1000\text{ mA/A} = 60\text{ mA}

Expressing the small current value in milliamperes matches standard electronic measurement conventions.

According to Ohm's law, resistance is found by dividing voltage by current (

R = V / I

). Converting

350\text{ mA}

into amperes yields

0.35\text{ A}

. Dividing

28\text{ V}

by

0.35\text{ A}

gives the correct value of

80\text{ }\Omega

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the current measurement from milliamperes to amperes.

I = 350\text{ mA} = \frac{350}{1000}\text{ A} = 0.35\text{ A}

Standard Ohm's law calculations require current to be in base SI units (amperes) to produce resistance in ohms.

2

Rearrange Ohm's law (

V = I \times R

) to solve for resistance (

R

).

R = \frac{V}{I}

Resistance equals the electromotive force (voltage) across the circuit divided by the resulting current flow.

3

Substitute the known voltage and converted current values into the rearranged formula.

R = \frac{28\text{ V}}{0.35\text{ A}} = \frac{2800}{35}\text{ }\Omega = 80\text{ }\Omega

Dividing

R = \frac{V}{I}

). Converting

80\text{ mA}

to standard amperes gives

0.08\text{ A}

. Dividing the

24\text{ V}

source by

0.08\text{ A}

yields a resistance of

300\text{ }\Omega

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert current from milliamperes (mA) to base amperes (A)

80\text{ mA} = 80 \times 10^{-3}\text{ A} = 0.08\text{ A}

Ohm's law requires current to be expressed in standard SI units (amperes) when working with volts and ohms.

2

Rearrange Ohm's law (

V = I \times R

) to isolate resistance (

R

)

R = \frac{V}{I}

Dividing both sides of the standard Ohm's law equation by current isolates the unknown resistance.

Substitute the known voltage (

24\text{ V}

) and current (

0.08\text{ A}
