Question

A ski resort consists of a few chairlifts and several interconnected downhill runs on the side of a mountain, with a lodge at the bottom. The lifts are analogous to batteries, and the runs are analogous to resistors. Describe how two runs can be in series. Describe how three runs can be in parallel. Sketch a junction of one lift and two runs. One of the skiers is carrying an altimeter. State Kirchhoff’s junction rule and Kirchhoff’s loop rule for ski resorts.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) attached file

B) attached file

C) attached file

D) Kirchhoff’s junction rule states that at any junction, the sum of the altimeter attained moving into and out of that junction are equal.

While

Kirchhoff’s loop rule states that the algebraic sum of the number of lifts used in any closed loop is equal to zero

Explanation:

Given that the lifts are analogous to batteries, and the runs are analogous to resistors. 

So from all the figures. The resistors represent the runs while the lift represents the battery.

Kirchhoff’s junction rule states that at any junction, the sum of the altimeter attained moving into and out of that junction are equal.

While

Kirchhoff’s loop rule states that the algebraic sum of the number of lifts used in any closed loop is equal to zero
