Chapter 2, Problem 2.19P
Most sources of electrical power behave as (approximately) ideal voltage sources In this case, if we have several loads that we want to operate independently, we place the loads in parallel with a switch in series with each load Thereupon, we can switch each load on or off without affecting the power delivered to the other loads.
How would we connect the loads and switches if the source is an ideal independent current source? Draw the diagram of the current source and three loads with on-off switches such that each load can be switched on or off without affecting the power supplied to the other loads. To turn a load off, should the corresponding switch be opened or closed? Explain.

Thereupon, we can switch each load on or off without affecting the power delivered to the other loads. How would we connect the loads and switches if the source is an ideal independent current source? Draw the diagram of the current source and three loads with on–off switches such that each load can be switched on or off without affecting the power supplied to the other loads. To turn a load off, should the corresponding switch be opened or closed? Explain.

- Shown below is a DC circuit that contains a number of switches. Each switch is resistanceless when closed. All of the connecting wires may be considered to have zero resistance. All of the resistors shown are identical. The circuit contains an ideal voltmeter. The diagram shows all of the switches open. Beside the diagram are eight different switch configurations for the circuit. Rank these configurations in terms of the voltmeter reading. That is, put first the configuration for which the voltmeter gives the largest reading, and put last the configuration for which the yoltmeter gives the smallest reading. If two or more configurations produce the same voltmeter reading, give these configurations equal ranking.
