Chapter 22.1, Problem 11PP

To determine

To draw: Circuit with given elements.

Answer to Problem 11PP

Circuit with given elements is shown in Figure 1.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Series Circuit:

A circuit in which one or more elements are connected one by one in a chain making a single path is a series circuit.

The current through all the resistors is same and the total voltage is distributed to all the resistors.

Potentiometer:

It is a three terminal element with variable resistance. The third terminal helps in adjusting the resistance.

Switch:

It is an electrical element which is used to make or break the circuit.

The series circuit with the given elements is shown below,

  

Figure 1

The switch and potentiometer with a variable resistor are connected in series along with the lamp. The series elements are connected across the battery, that will complete the circuit.
