The Exercise:

Calculate the values in the following questions using the formula charts located on pages 40 and 41 of your text. Do all your rough work on a separate sheet of paper. When satisfied with your answers, neatly enter (print) your complete formulated results. Show all steps in the calculation in the space provided below each question.



1:

If lamp L1, in Figure 2-8a has a resistance of 10 ohms, and an applied voltage (battery voltage) of 12V; How much current will be flowing in the circuit?


2:

If lamp L1, in Figure 2-8a has a voltage drop of 6V and has a current of 1.2A flowing through it; What is the lamp resistance?


3:

If the circuit in Figure 2-8a has a current flow of 2 Amps, and the resistance of lamp L1 is known to be 8 ohms; Calculate what the voltage output of the battery is.


4:

If the lamp in Figure 2-8a, passes 1.5 amps of current at 12V; What is the wattage of the bulb?


5:

If the lamp in Figure 2-8a, was a 100 watt bulb rated at 12V; How much current would the battery need to supply?


6:

The lamp in Figure 2-8a, is known to have a resistance of 18 ohms, and the battery has an output of 12VDC; What is the wattage of the bulb?



7:

If R1, in Figure 2-16a has a resistance of 6.8 ohms, and is known to be discipating 20 watts of power; What is the voltage output of the battery?


8:

If R1, in Figure 2-16a has a resistance of 6.8 ohms, and is known to be discipating 20 watts of power; How much current is flowing in the circuit?


9:

If R1, in Figure 2-16a has a resistance of 100 ohms, and has 100ma of current passing through it; How much power is it discipating?


10:

If the battery, in Figure 2-16a has an output of 12 volts and R1 is discipating 40 watts; What is the resistance of R1?
