10. What is a potent PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS 1. You are an electrician on the job. It is decided that the speed of a large DC motor is to be reduced by connecting a resistor in series with its armature. The DC voltage applied to the motor is 250 V, and the motor has a full-load armature current of 50 Your job is to reduce the armature current to 40 A at full load by connecting the resistor in series with the armature. What value of resistance should be used, and what is the power rating of the resistor? 2. You are working on an electronic circuit. The circuit current is 5 mA. A resistor is marked with the following bands: brown, black, red, gold. A voltmeter measures voltage drop of 6.5 V across the resistor. Is this resistor within its tolerance rati 3. A homeowner uses a 100-watt incandescent lamp as a heater in an outside w pump house to protect the pump from freezing in cold weather. Unfortunately however, the lamp can burn out and leave the pump unprotected. You have b asked to install a heater that will not burn out and leave the pump unprotect You have avaliable a 100-watt, 150-ohm wire-wound resistor. Can this resist
