4- Design problem
Your are designing a Christmas tree light set, to be strung on a tree in your
backyard, that will operate from a 12-V battery. The heavy-duty rechargeable
battery you selected can provide a continuous 9A of current at 12 V for a 4-hour
period of operation each night before being completely drained. Design a set of
lights that are configured in a parallel arrangement that will match the
performance specifications of your battery. The resistance of each bulb is 12 ?.
Design for the case of the maximum number of lights(round the number of lights
to an integer with the overall duration being at least 4 hours).
Explanation / Answer
current in each light = 12V/12ohm = 1A
so we can put 9 lights in parrallel so total current will be 9A from the battery.
