Traffic lights are being converted from incandescent bulbs to LED arrays to save operating and maintenance costs. Typically, each incandescent light uses three 100-W bulbs, one for each color R, Y, G. A competing LED array consists of 61 LEDs with each LED requiring 9 V and drawing 20mA of current. There are three arrays per light—R, Y, G. A small city has 1560 traffic signals. Since one light is always on 2417 , how much can a city save in 1 year if the city buys their electricity at

Sketch a schematic diagram to show your design. mongy (b) multirange DC voltmeter can be designed either with the multiplier resistors connected in shunts or in series. bwena D'Arsonval meter movement with Im = 100 µA and Rm 1.4 kQ is to be converted into a multirange DC voltmeter for ranges of 5 V, 10 V, 20 V and 50 V. Calculate the multiplier resistor values for both types of design. ii) Based on the calculation results, give your opinion on which design is better and provide your reason.arrow_forwardA LED which bright one color when forward and another color on reverse is called O Dimensional LED O Multicolour LED O Mono LEDarrow_forwardSketch even and odd for this figurearrow_forward
