PROFANITY AND VULGARITY

Use the right language.

Our speech reflects the kind of person we are.

Have the courage to keep your speech clean and wholesome.

Many times in our effort to refrain from improper speech, we find words to substitute.
Sometimes they are so close to vulgar phrases everyone probably knows that we are
substituting words and have not really improved our vocabulary

HOW TO STOP

To anyone who has followed the practice of using profanity or vulgarity and would
like to correct the habit, could I offer this suggestion? First, make the commitment
to erase such words from your vocabulary. Next, if you slip and say a swear word or
a substitute word, [think about] the sentence without the vulgarity or substitute word
and repeat the new sentence aloud. Eventually you will develop a non-vulgar speech
habit.

1. Why should I refrain from using bad language?

2. Two resistances of 5 and 10 ohms respectively, are connected in series with each other.
If a 20-ohm resistance is connected across the series combination, how much is the total
current drawn by the whole circuit if connected across a 120-V source? The resistors are
connected in series across a 120-V source. The first resistor is 50Ω, the current through
the second resistor is 0.50A, and the voltage drop across the third resistor is 50V. What
are the resistances of the first and third resistors?
3. The bridge circuit shown below is to be balanced to find the value of resistance R x. Find
the value of Rx if R1 = 500 ohms, R3 = 800 ohms, and R2, a variable resistor, is adjusted
to 650 ohms.

4. Find the total resistance, the current in each resistor when the switch is (a) open, (b)
closed.
5. Determine the equivalent resistance between (a) points A and B, (b) points B and C, (c)
C and D.

6. Complete the table of values for this circuit:

7. From observation of this circuit (with components attached to a “terminal strip”), draw an
appropriate schematic diagram:

8. Antique American automobiles often used 6 volt electrical systems instead of the 12 volt
components found in more modern cars and trucks. People who restore these old vehicles
may have difficulty finding old 6-volt generators and batteries to replace the defective,
original units. An easy solution is to update the vehicle’s generator and battery with
modern (12 volt) components, but then another problem arises.

A 12 volt generator and 12 volt battery will overpower the old 6 volt headlights, brake
lights, and other electrical “loads” in the vehicle. A solution used by antique automobile
restorers is to connect resistors between the 12-volt generator system and the 6-volt
loads, like this:

Explain why this solution works, and also discuss some of the disadvantages of using
resistors to adapt the new (12 volt) to the old (6 volt) components.
9. Draw a schematic diagram of this “bread boarded” circuit:

10. Think of a way to re-wire the electrical system of this old automobile (with 6-volt light
bulbs) so as to not require resistors between the loads and the generator/battery portion
of the circuit (operating at 12 volts each).
