Question
Chapter 12, Problem 1P
To determine
Check the whether the arrangement of the batteries are in series or parallel for Hand-held calculator (TI 85), flash light and portable radio.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
The battery connection for the products as follows:
- Hand-held calculator (TI 85): The batteries in series give deep power cycle operation. TI 85 model Hand-held calculator has two batteries a series combination of four alkaline batteries and one lithium battery.
These two are parallel arrangement to connect with the input terminals of the calculator circuit.
- Flash light: The flash light employs the batteries are connection mostly in series to bring the sum of voltage applied to the light for the deep power cycle operation. The deep power cycle operation makes a single path to the charge flow.
In some cases parallel connections also preferred where longer life cycle is preferred.
- Portable radio: Portable radio is employs the series combination of batteries to sum the voltage for the input voltage level.
The arrangement of batteries is shown in Table 1.
Product | Batteries connection |
Hand-held calculator (TI 85) | Series or series and parallel |
Flash light | Series or parallel |
Portable radio | Series |
Thus, the batteries are connected for the products hand-held calculator, flashlight, and portable radio are discussed.

Christchurch, New Zealand experienced a major earthquake on February 22, 2011. It destroyed 100,000 homes. Data were collected on a sample of 300 damaged homes. These data are saved in the file called CIEG315 Homework 4 data.xlsx, which is available on Canvas under Files. A subset of the data is shown in the accompanying table. Two of the variables are qualitative in nature: Wall construction and roof construction. Two of the variables are quantitative: (1) Peak ground acceleration (PGA), a measure of the intensity of ground shaking that the home experienced in the earthquake (in units of acceleration of gravity, g); (2) Damage, which indicates the amount of damage experienced in the earthquake in New Zealand dollars; and (3) Building value, the pre-earthquake value of the home in New Zealand dollars.
