Chapter 2, Problem 53E
For the circuit in Fig. 2.39, suppose that the resistor R2 represents a very sensitive and expensive piece of electronics. To ensure that the equipment is not damaged, R1 is incorporated to represent a fuse, with a rating of 5 A and resistance of 0.1 Ω. If the voltage source is 12 V, what is the lowest resistance that could be encountered as a short circuit condition for R2 before blowing the fuse?

(i) For the circuit of Figure 2.1a, assume the source-voltage, E = 15V, R₁ = 3.3 kN, R₂=
2.2 k and R3 = 1.0 kn. Determine the expected current, I and the voltages across
resistors R₁ (=Vab), R₂ (= Vbc) and R3 (=Vcd) for the respective values of resistors
shown. Record your theoretical results in Table 2.1. Determine the sum EV = (Vab +
Vbc + Ved) to verify the KVL law.
Figure 2.1 shows a simple circuit. Explain why using a DMM tomeasure the DC voltage across resistor R2 might lead to inaccurate results. Include in your answer how the value of R2 might affect the size of the error and provide some circuit diagrams and equations to showhow to calculate the error.
