Part B

Given the following circuit:

  1. Calculate the current through each Resistance R1 to R6 when its correspondent switch is closed (e.g. the current through R1 when the switch SW1 is closed, the current through R2 when the switch SW2 is closed, etc.)
  2. If the value of the Fuse F1 is 1 Amperes, which different combinations of switches can you close together to ensure that will be the maximum current possible but the Fuse F1 will not blow apart? – Justify your answer with your calculations.
  3. If the value of the Fuse F1 is 2 Amperes, which different combinations of switches can you close together to ensure that will be the maximum current possible but the Fuse F1 will not blow apart? – Justify your answer with your calculations.
  4. If the value of the Fuse F1 is 3 Amperes, which different combinations of switches can you close together to ensure that will be the maximum current possible but the Fuse F1 will not blow apart? – Justify your answer with your calculations
  5. Calculate the minimum value of the Fuse F1 that will allow ALL the switches to be close.

6. Test your results using the simulation (Post Screenshot) https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/circuit-construction-kit-dc/latest/circuit-construction-kit-dc_en.html
