Weekend Quiz. Back to Basics.

Q.1. There are two resistors in series in a circuit, of 18 Ohms and 22 Ohms resistance. The current through the 18 Ohm resistor is 6 Amps. Calculate the supply Voltage to the circuit.


Q.2 There are three resistors of resistance 20 Ohms, 10 Ohms and 8 Ohms connected in parallel to a 6 Volt D.C. supply. Calculate:


a, The total resistance.


b, The current taken from the supply.


Q.3. A coil of 30 Ohms reactance is connected to a 200 Volt A.C. supply circuit, in series with a of 50 Ohms resistance. A capacitor of 30 Ohms reactance is connected in series with the coil. Calculate,


a, The circuit impedance.


b, The current drawn from the supply.


c, The power used.

    Ancient Mariners are good at physics and maths it seems. All correct.




    Agreed. I got exactly the same answers but didn't see much point in posting a duplicate set. As another ex-seafarer I suspect it is a result of the long hours on a ship with little to do which leaves a lot of time for thinking (after all you can only drink so much duty free booze.....)
