Shown below is a circuit that supplies energy to
a device. The device is a load resistor which is
equal to 6 ohms. "A" is a meter that can monitor
the current of the circuit and there is an
adjustable resistor called a dimmer "Rd". The
adjustable resistor is set to 2 ohms and the
circuit is supplied with a battery that gives a
potential difference of 12 volts.
If the switch is closed for 1 hr, find the energy
supplied to the device by the battery.
while the switch is closed, if the load resistance
increased would the potential difference across
the dimmer stay at its value, increase, or
decrease, and why?
meter
dimmer, R
Load, R
