Are switches connected in series or parallel with the devices they control?

1 answer:

3 0

In some unusual applications of unusual components, I can think of unusual electric circuits where a switch may be connected in parallel with a device in order to control it.

But I'm sure this is not what's intended in a question on the high-school level.

Until you get in a situation with tricky applications in a tricky circuit, your switches will always be connect <em>in series</em> with the devices they control.

Consider three identical electric bulbs of power P. Two of bulbs are connected in series and the third one is connected in paral

Tamiku [17]

Answer: 3P/2

Explanation: Let the resistance of the bulbs be R.

now lets consider a Voltage V is supplied to the parallel circuit such that

$P=VI=V^2/R$

V=IR

both single bulb( bulb 3) and the two bulbs ( bulb 1 and bulb 2) are provided the same Voltage

( as the voltage remains same in parallel circuit)

we can calculate the Current across both circuits

At Bulb 3

Current 1=V/R

Power1=Voltage * Current1

Power1=V*V/R

Power1=P

At Bulb 1 and Bulb 2

Total Resistance= R+R=2R

$Current2=\frac{V}{2R}$

Power2=Voltage * Current2

$Power2=V*\frac{V}{2R} \\Power2=\frac{V^2}{2R} \\Power2=P/2$

$TotalPower=Power1+Power2\\TotalPower=P+P/2\\TotalPower=\frac{3P}{2}$

The data table shows some data related to the Sun and the planets in our solar system.

You have selected the correct answer and blobbed over it with your pencil.

I assume you must have looked at Saturn's average distance, found 1427,
divided that number by 6, got 237 and change, then looked at the others,
and found that 228 was the only one that's anywhere close.
