Chapter 10, Problem 90CP
Analog meters use a galvanometer, which essentially consists of a coil of wire with a small resistance and a pointer with a scale attached. When current runs through the coil, the pointer turns; die amount the pointer turns is proportional to the amount of current running through the coil. Galvanometers can be used to make an ammeter if a resistor is placed in parallel with the galvanometer. Consider a galvanometer that has a resistance of
through it. The galvanometer is to be used to make an ammeter that has a full scale reading of 10.00 A, as shown below. Recall that an ammeter is connected in series with the circuit of interest, so all 10 A must tun through the meter, (a) What is the current through the parallel resistor in the meter? (b) What is the voltage across the parallel resistor? (c) What is the resistance of the parallel resistor?

What is the smallest capacitor needed in a computer power supply in order to produce at least 4.45 V for 0.21 s after the power goes off? Assume that the resistance of all the components of the computer motherboard is 6 Ohms and that the capacitor and motherboard are powered with a 5-Volt power supply.
