TUTORIAL 2 1. Figure below shows the resistor limits the current in the circuit to 5A when connected to a 10V battery.

Find its resistance. R=?

V=10V

+ -

I=5A

2. Figure below shows a lamp circuit. The lamp has a resistance of 8 and requires a 1.5A current to operate. Find the voltage required to turn on the lamp.

V=?

I=1.5A

R=8

3. What current will flow through a lamp when its resistance of 360 and is connected to an ordinary house voltage of 115V as shown in figure below?

V=115V

I=?

R=360

4. Find the current drawn by a 60W spot-light lamp rated for 120V operation. Also find the current drawn by a 150W,120V lamp and a 300W,120V lamp. As the wattage increases, explain what happens to the current. 5. Find the power consumed by a fixed 25 resistor for each of the following currents : 3A,6A, and 1.5A. What effect does a change in current have on the amount of power dissipated by a fixed resistor? Explain it briefly. 6. The motor in a washing machine uses 1200W. How much energy in kilowatthours is used in a week by a Laundromat with eight washers if they are all in use 10 hours per day (h/day) for a 6 day week?

7. A radio receiver draws 0.9A at 110V. If the set is used 3 h/day, how much energy does it consume in 7 days? 8. Electric utility companies establish their rates at a give number of cents per kilowatt-hour. Rates for electric energy in the United States depend upon the method by which the electricity is generated. The type and complexity of the transmission and distribution system, the maintenance cost, and many other factors. By knowing amount of energy you use (from the meter readings) and the cost per kilowatt-hour of energy in your area, can you calculate your own monthly electric bill. One residence used 820kWh of electric energy in one month. If the utility rate is 6 cents per kilowatt-hour, what was the owners electrical bill for the month? 9. Use Ohms law to fill in the indicated quantity. V ? 120V 120V ? 60V 110V ? 2400V I 2A ? 24A 8mA ? 2mA 2.5A ? R 3 2400 ? 5k 12k ? 6.4 1M

10. A circuit consists of a 6V battery, a switch, and a lamp. When the switch is closed, 2A flows in the circuit. What is the resistance of the lamp?
