Question

If the current on your power supply exceeds 500 mA it can damage the supply. Suppose the supply is set for 37 V. What is the smallest resistance you can measure

Answer 1

Answer:

74 Ω

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Maximum value of the current that can be provided = 500 mA

= 500 × 10⁻³ A  

Applied voltage set for the system = 37 V

Now,  

The smallest resistance that can be measured    

= [ Applied voltage ] ÷ [ Maximum current that can be applied ]

= 37 ÷ (  500 × 10⁻³ )

= 74 Ω
