Chapter 5, Problem 39P
The electrical circuit in a room is protected with a 15 A circuit breaker. A space heater that draws 8.0 A is plugged into one wall outlet,and two table lamps that draw 0.833 A each are plugged into another outlet. Can a vacuum clearner that uses 5.0 A be plugged into this same circuit without exceeding the breaker current? Explain your anwer.

leaving a freevway. Current from the opposite side must travel further, weakening the potential on that side. This creates a potent
the motor in that direction, causing the motor to spin.
O Only the side where the switch is closed forms a cormplete circuit, so the motor must spin in that direction.

If PMMC meter have internal resistance of
1002 and full-scale range of 1mA. Assume
we wish to increase the meter range to 2A.
the value of shunt resistor will be:
OR_sh=0.00500
OR_sh= 0.00010
OR_sh=0.11111 0
a 12 volt source with an internal resistance of 1.2 ohm is connected across a wire wire wound resistor. maximum power will be disipated in the resistor when its resistance is equal to.

The board is cut into a trapezoidal shape and is made of plastic. On the back of the board there is conductive paint shown here in green. On the front there are some resistors and capacitors, in addition to terminals for inserting the leads from a DC power supply. The legs of the resistors and capacitors go through the holes on the board and are soldered to the conducting paint on the back side. You also have a multi-meter which you can use as an ammeter or a voltmeter. 16 v 4700 16 10 8 O- 7 3. 6. 4 O+arrow_forwardA 102 resistor is connected in series to a parallel combination of a 60 2 resistor and a 20 02 resistor to form a load across a 220-volt source.
