Chapter 2, Problem 1RQ
The reciprocal of resistance is:
(a) voltage
(b) current
(c) conductance
(d) coulombs
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Find the appropriate option that suits for reciprocal of resistance from given options.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The reciprocal of resistance is “(c) conductance”.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
Resistance is defined as the capacity of an element to oppose the flow of electric current. It is denoted as R and its unit is ohm
From Ohm’s law, the resistance is stated as the ratio of voltage to current that is
In a short circuit element, the resistance will be around 0 ohms and in an open circuit element, the resistance would be around infinity.
Conductance is defined as the ability of an element to allow the flow of electric current. It is denoted as G and its unit is mho or siemens (S).
Therefore, the resistance is inversely proportional to the conductance that is
Hence, the option c is correct and remaining options a, b and d are incorrect.
Conclusion:
Thus, the reciprocal of resistance is “(c) conductance”.

You should use the LTSpice cursors for your measurement. Answer to within 1% accuracy, or enter 0, or infinity (as "inf") (a) Attenuation (dB) = dB Check You may have noticed that it was significantly easier to use frequency-domain "AC" simulation to measure the attenuation, compared to the steps we performed in the last few questions. (i.e. via a time-domain "transient" simulation). AC analysis allows us to observe and quantify large scale positive or negative changes in a signal of interest across a wide range of different frequencies. From the response you will notice that only frequencies that are relatively close to 100 kHz have been attenuated. This is the result of the Band-reject filter you have designed, and shows the 'rejection' (aka attenuation) of any frequencies that lie in a given band. The obvious follow-up question is how do we define this band? We use a quantity known as the bandwidth. A commonly used measurement for…arrow_forward

- An electric resistance space heater is designed such that it resembles a rectangular box 55 cm high, 75 cm long, and 20 cm wide filled with 45 kg of oil. The heater is to be placed against a wall, and thus heat transfer from its back surface is negligible. The surface temperature of the heater is not to exceed 75°C in a room at 25°C for safety considerations. The emissivity of the outer surface of the heater is 0.8 and the average temperature of the ceiling and wall surfaces is the same as the room air temperature. The properties of air at 1 atm and the film temperature are: k = 0.02753 W/m-°C, v=1.798 x 10-5 m²/s, Pr = 0.7228, and ẞ= 0.003096K-1 Wall T₁ =75°C Oil € = 0.8 Electric heater Heating element Disregarding heat transfer from the bottom and top surfaces of the heater in anticipation that the top surface will be used as a shelf, determine the power rating of the heater in W.
