Answer:
The voltage source required to provide 1.6 A of current through the 75 ohm resistance is 120 V.
Explanation:
Given;
Resistance, R₁ = 50Ω
Resistance, R₂ = 75Ω
Total resistance, R = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂)
Total resistance, R = (50 x 75)/(125)
Total resistance, R = 30 Ω
According to ohms law, sum of current in a parallel circuit is given as
I = I₁ + I₂
Voltage across each resistor is the same
V = 1.6 x R₂
V = 1.6 x 75
V = 120 V
Therefore, the voltage source required to provide 1.6 A of current through the 75 ohm resistance is 120 V.
This voltage is also the same for 50 ohms resistance but the current will be 2.4 A.
Answer:
You need a 120V to 24V commercial transformer (transformer 1:5), a 100 ohms resistance, a 1.5 K ohms resistance and a diode with a minimum forward current of 20 mA (could be 1N4148)
Step by step design:
- Because you have a 120V AC voltage supply you need an efficient way to reduce that voltage as much as possible before passing to the rectifier, for that I recommend a standard 120V to 24V transformer. 120 Vrms = 85 V and 24 Vrms = 17V = Vin
- Because 17V is not 15V you still need a voltage divider to step down that voltage, for that we use R1 = 100Ω and R2 = 1.3KΩ. You need to remember that more than 1 V is going to be in the diode, so for our calculation we need to consider it. Vf = (V*R2)/(R1+R2), V = Vin - 1 = 17-1 = 16V and Vf = 15, Choosing a fix resistance R1 = 100Ω and solving the equation we find R2 = 1.5KΩ
- Finally to select the diode you need to calculate two times the maximum current and that would be the forward current (If) of your diode. Imax = Vf/R2 = 10mA and If = 2*Imax = 20mA
Our circuit meet the average voltage (Va) specification:
Va = (15)/(pi) = 4.77V considering the diode voltage or 3.77V without considering it
