the maximum safe total power.
Answer to Problem 93A
The required maximum safe power for the circuit is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Formula:
Expression for the equivalent resistance is given by
The expression for current in terms of power is
The power across the circuit of resistance
Calculation:
Substitute the values of
In series circuit, current is same through all the circuit components. The current passing through higher resistance will flow through the circuit.\
The current passing through the resistor of resistance
The maximum potential across the circuit is
Substitute the values of
Substitute the values of
Conclusion:
Hence, the required maximum safe power for the circuit is
