Chapter 4: Q32E (page 843)

In the circuit of Fig. E25.30, the 5.0 鈩� resistor is removed and replaced by a resistor of unknown resistance R. When this is done, an ideal voltmeter connected across the points band creads 1.9 V. Find (a) the current in the circuit and (b) the resistance R. (c) Graph the potential rises and drops in this circuit (see Fig. 25.20).

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The current in the circuit is 0.21A.
  2. The Resistance R is 26.1惟.
  3. The required graph is shown.

Step by step solution

01

  (a) Determination of the current in the circuit.

The sum of the potential across the loop is zero.

The current flows from + terminal to 鈥� terminal, the current will flow the counter clockwise direction as determined by the 16-V battery. The voltmeter reading is across the 9.0 鈩� resistor.

Vbc=1.9V

Therefore, the current according to Ohm鈥檚 Law,

l=VbaRbc=1.9V9.0惟=0.21AThus,thecurrentinthecircuitis0.21A.

02

(b) Determination of the resistance in the circuit.

Write the potential equation of the circuit as,

16.0V-8.0V=(1.6惟+9.0惟+1.4惟+R)(0.21A)R=5.48V0.21A=26.1惟

03

 Graph for the potential rises and drops in this circuit.

The graph is sketched by below.When the 5.0-惟 resistor is replaced by the 26.1-惟

resistor the current decreases to 0.21 A.
