The figure shows a section of a circuit. The resistances are R1=2.0 , R2=4.0and R3=6.0, and the indicated current is I=6.0A . The electric potential difference between points A and B that connect the section to the rest of the circuit is VAVB=78V . (a) Is the device represented by 鈥淏ox鈥 absorbing or providing energy to the circuit, and (b) At what rate?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The device represented by 鈥淏ox鈥 is providing energy.

(b) The rate of the energy is 360W.

Step by step solution

01

Given data:

The resistor, R1=2.0

The resistor, R2=4.0

The resistor, R3=6.0

The current, I=6.0A

The potential difference, VAVB=78V

02

Understanding the concept:

Using the given data, you can calculate the total power dissipated by the resistors. By comparing the total power dissipated by the resistors and the external power supplied, you can find whether the device is absorbing or providing energy.

Formula:

The Ohm鈥檚 voltage,

V=IR

The power is,

P=I2R

At any junction,I=0

03

(a) Find out if the device represented by “Box” absorbing or providing energy to the circuit:

The voltage acrossR3can be calculated as,

V3=IR3=6.0A6.0=36V

The voltage acrossR1can be calculated as,

V1=(VAVB)V3=78V36V=42V

So, the current through R1 will be,

I1=V1R1=42V2=21A

Now, we apply the junction rule at point A to find the current flowing throughR2

I2=I1I=(216)A=15A

Now, the total power dissipated by the resistors,

Ptotal=P1+P2+P3

Since the power is,

P=I2R

Therefore, the total power will becomes,

Ptotal=I12R1+I22R2+I32R3

Substitute known values in the above equation.

Ptotal=((21)22)+((15)24)+((6)26)=882+900+216=1998W=1.998kW

But, the power supplied externally to this section will be,

PA=I1(VAVB)=21A78V=1638A=1.638kW

On comparingPAandPtotal, as Ptotal>PA you can say that the box must is providing energy.

04

(b) Calculate absorbing or providing energy to the circuit:

The rate at which the Box is supplying the energy will be,

PBox=PtotalPA=19981638=360W

Hence, the rate of the energy is .360W
