Concept explainers

KVL stands for Kirchhoff voltage law. KVL states that the total voltage drops around the loop in any closed electric circuit is equal to the sum of total voltage drop in the same closed loop.

Sign Convention

Science and technology incorporate some ideas and techniques of their own to understand a system skilfully and easily. These techniques are called conventions. For example: Sign conventions of mirrors are used to understand the phenomenon of reflection a…

Textbook Question

Chapter 1, Problem 1.20P

Traffic lights are being converted from incandescent bulbs to LED arrays to save operating and maintenance costs. Typically, each incandescent light uses three 100-W bulbs, one for each color R, Y, G. A competing LED array consists of 61 LEDs with each LED requiring 9 V and drawing 20mA of current. There are three arrays per light—R, Y, G. A small city has 1560 traffic signals. Since one light is always on 2417 , how much can a city save in 1 year if the city buys their electricity at 7.2 c per kWh?
