Answer:
The current through each lamp is 0.273 Amperes
Power dissipated in each lamp is 0.082W
Explanation:
Battery v = 1.5 V
Each lamp has resistance, r = 1.1 Ohms
The 5 lamps in series will therefore have total resistance, R = 5 * 1.1 = 5.5 Ohms
The current through each lamp, I = v/R = 1.5 / 5.5 = 0.273 Amperes
Power dissipated in each lamp = I² * r = 0.273² * 1.1 = 0.082W
Answer:
3) the pressure drop across high MERV filters is significant.
Explanation:
MERV (Minimum-Efficiency Reporting Value) is used to measure the efficiency of filter to remove particles. A filter of high MERV can filter smaller particles but this causes an increase in reduced air flow that is an increase in pressure drop. High MERV filters capture more particles causing them to get congested faster and thereby increasing pressure drop.
Excessive pressure drop can cause overheating and lead to damage of the filter. The pressure drop can be reduced by increasing the surface area of the filter.
Answer:
technician A is correct
Explanation:
Technician B has circuit topologies confused. In a series circuit, there is only one path for electrical current to take. In a parallel circuit, the current will divide between paths in proportion to the inverse of their resistance. The least resistance path will have the most current.
Technician A is mostly correct.
