Suppose you have resistors 2.5kΩ, 3.5kΩand 4.5kΩ and a 100V power supply. What is the ratio of the total power delivered to the resistors if they are connected in parallel to the total power delivered if they are connected in series?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The ration will be14:5

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have given,

Voltage = 100V

Resistances =2.5kΩ,3.5kΩ,4.5kΩ

We have to find the ratio of power dissipated by when resistances are series and when are in parallel.

02

Simplify

When resistances are in parallel,

1Req=12.5+13.5+14.5Req=3.75kΩ

Then power is dissipated by the circuit,

localid="1649283398345" P1=V2Req=(100)23.75

When resistances are in series

Req=2.5+3.5+4.5=10.5kΩ

Then power is dissipated by the circuit,

P2=V2Req=(100)210.5

Divided the both power

ratio=14:5

A 12 V car battery dies not so much because its voltage drops but because chemical reactions increase its internal resistance. A good battery connected with jumper cables can both start the engine and recharge the dead battery. Consider the automotive circuit of FIGURE P28.65.

a. How much current could the good battery alone drive through the starter motor?

b. How much current is the dead battery alone able to drive through the starter motor?

c. With the jumper cables attached, how much current passes through the starter motor?

d. With the jumper cables attached, how much current passes through the dead battery, and in which direction?

The switch in FIGURE CP28.80 has been closed for a very long time.

a. What is the charge on the capacitor?

b. The switch is opened at t = 0 s. At what time has the charge on the capacitor decreased to 10% of its initial value?

The flash on a compact camera stores energy in a 120μFcapacitor that is charged to 220V. When the flash is fired, the capacitor is quickly discharged through a lightbulb with5.0Ωof resistance.

a. Light from the flash is essentially finished after two time constants have elapsed. For how long does this flash illuminate the scene?

b. At what rate is the lightbulb dissipating energy 250μsafter the flash is fired?

c. What total energy is dissipated by the lightbulb?
