Question

(1496) Problem 7: A 0.0215-Q ammeter is placed in series with a 9.5- resistor in a circuit. @ 33% Part (a) Calculate the resistance, in ohms, of the combination. 33% Part (b) Ifthe voltage is kept the same across the combination as it was through the 9.5- resistor alone, what is the percent de in current?

If the current is kept the same through the combination as it was through the 10.00- resistor alone, what is the percent

Explanation / Answer

a) RS = 0.0215 + 9.5 = 9.52 ohms

b) Is = V / R = V / 9.52

% decrease = [IR - Is] / IR * 100

= [V/9.5 - V/9.52] / [V/9.5] * 100

= 0.02 / 9.52 * 100

= 0.21 %

c) VR = I (9.5)

Vs = I (9.52)

% increase = I (9.52) - I (9.5) / I (9.5) * 100

= 0.02 / 9.5 * 100

= 0.211 %
