1) The equivalent resistance of two resistors in parallel is given by:
\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}
so in our problem we have
\frac{1}{R_{eq}} =  \frac{1}{15 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{40 \Omega}=0.092 \Omega^{-1}
and the equivalent resistance is
R_{eq} =  \frac{1}{0.092 \Omega^{-1}}=10.9 \Omega

2) If we have a battery of 12 V connected to the circuit, the current in the circuit will be given by Ohm's law, therefore:
I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{12 V}{10.9 \Omega}=1.1 A

The output voltage of a power supply is V = Vo Sin (120t). At t = 0.01 s, the output voltage is 4.2 V. What is the rms voltage o
dexar [7]

Answer:

3.18 V

Explanation:

RMS voltage of a generator is given by:

V_{rms}=\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}V_o

Given:

Output voltage at t =0.01 s is 4.2 V

V = V_o sin (120t)\\ 4.2 = V_o sin (120 \times 0.01) \\ V_o = 4.5 V

V_{rms}=\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}4.5 V = 3.18 V
