The exam consists of One page Number of Questions: Two
Attempt to solve all questions. Assume any missing data
Q1 Mark: 17
1.1 Given the circuit of Figure (at right).
a) Determine the values of all resistors.
b) Calculate the currents through R1, R2, and R4.
c) Find the currents I1 and I2.
d) Find the power dissipated by resistors R2, R3, and R4.
e) If an ammeter having an internal resistance of 50 Ω is
used to measure the current in the circuits, determine
the current through the ammeter and calculate the
loading effect I1, I2.
1.2 Given resistors having the following color codes (as read from left to right), determine the
resistance, tolerance, and reliability of each component. Express the uncertainty in both
percentage and ohms.
a) Brown Green Yellow Silver
b) Red Gray Gold Gold Yellow
c) Yellow Violet Blue Gold
a) d) Orange White Black Gold Red
1.3 Given a meter movement having Ifsd = 2 mA and Rm = 1 k Ω, design an ohmmeter which
uses a 9-V battery to provide the sensing current. Determine the values of the unknown
resistances which would result in meter deflections of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%.
1.4 Determine the color codes required if you need the following resistors for a project:
R1 → 22 KΩ ± 5% 0.1% reliability R3 → 45 Ω ± 20%
b) R2 → 330 Ω ± 10% R4 → 5.6 MΩ ± 5%
Q2 Mark: 8
2.1 The power/control system of an electric car consists of
a 48-V onboard battery pack, electronic control/drive
unit, and motor (Figure at right, Efficiency 95% and
80%). If 180 A are drawn from the batteries, how
much horsepower are delivered to the drive wheels?
2.2 Determine the area in circular mils of the following conductors (T = 20°C):
a) Circular wire having a diameter of 0.016 inch.
b) Circular wire having a diameter of 2.0 mm.
c) Rectangular bus bar having dimensions 0.25 inch by 6.0 inch.
2.3 It is desired to control a light using two switches as
indicated in the Table (at right). Design and draw the
required circuit?
Good Luck
