The power supply voltage is 5 volts, and each LED is rated at 1.6 volts and 20 mA. Calculate the dropping resistor sizes and power ratings: B) After doing this, a co-worker looks at your circuit and suggests a modification. Why not use a single dropping resistor for both LEDs, economizing the number of components necessary? Re-calculate the dropping resistor ratings (resistance and power) for the new design. Include the total power consumed by the circuit and the power delivered by the source.arrow_forwardS A L ined sove in peaper ۳/۱ 16852 Alternator has star-connected,4-pole, 50 Hz as the following data: Flux per pole-0.12 Wb; No. of slot/pole/phase-4; conductor/slot-4; Each coil spans 150° (electrical degree) pitches Find (i) number of turns per phase (ii) distribution factor (iii) pitch factor (iv) no-load phase voltage (v) no-load line voltage. 2ci25 750 r 2.01 ४arrow_forward
