Answer to Problem 1R

Yes, the outlets in a circuit can be arranged in different groupings to obtain the same result.

Explanation of Solution

Discussion:

The general purpose receptacles and the lighting outlets can be supplied with more than one circuit. If any problem occurs in one circuit, other circuit can manage the power supply to the outlets in the specified room.

Another way is to use the general purpose receptacles on one circuit and the lighting outlets on another branch circuit. Branch circuit runs first to the switch and then to the controlled lighting outlets. This running process is maintained and followed in order to keep the outlet box at the lighting outlets or the wiring compartment on recessed cans less crowded. The switch location includes grounded circuit conductor using which the switching devices are easily installed whenever the switch requires the connection of grounded circuit conductor.

Conclusion:

Thus, the outlets in a circuit can be arranged in different groupings to obtain the same result.

I need help checking if its correct -E1 + VR1 + VR4 – E2 + VR3 = 0 -------> Loop 1 (a) R1(I1) + R4(I1 – I2) + R3(I1) = E1 + E2 ------> Loop 1 (b) R1(I1) + R4(I1) - R4(I2) + R3(I1) = E1 + E2 ------> Loop 1 (c) (R1 + R3 + R4) (I1)  - R4(I2)    = E1 + E2 ------> Loop 1 (d) Now that we have loop 1 equation will procced on finding the equation of I2 current loop. However, a reminder that because we are going in a clockwise direction, it goes against the direction of the current. As such we will get an equation for the matrix that will be:   E2 – VR4 – VR2 + E3 = 0 ------> Loop 2 (a) -R4(I2 – I1) -R2(I2) = -E2 – E3  ------> Loop 2 (b) -R4(I2) + R4(I1) - R2(I2) = -E2 – E3  -----> Loop 2 (c)                                     R4(I1) – (R4 + R2)(I2) = -E2 – E3  -----> Loop 2 (d) These two equations will be implemented to the matrix formula I = inv(A) * b       R11                        R12   (R1 + R3 + R4)     -R4     -R4     R4 + R2
