Solved exercise · level 3 of 5

Compensate the line voltage drop

Skills: Build, Calculate

Statement

Two bells R₃ and R₄ (each 0.25 A at 12 V) are supplied through a line whose conductors (R₁ and R₂) are 1 Ω each. G is set to 12 V: V1 shows the bells get less.

Set G so that they get exactly 12 V (within 3 %).

Parametric exercise: the values change with every draw; these are one example.

2 hints from Bastaya available in the lab
Solution

Total I = 2 × 0.25 A; drop = 2 × 1 × I = 13 − 12 V; the source must supply 13 V.

Circuit diagram CEI 60617

How does it work?

Each big hole is a circuit node: you push one leg of a component into it. The 4 small holes around it are connected to it: chips and leads plug in there.

  1. Place a component Drag it from the palette: it snaps onto the grid. R rotates it.
  2. Bridge neighbouring holes Pick the jumper chip (or C) and drag on the board: bridged holes become a single node.
  3. Draw a lead For long links and the power supply: from one big hole to another, or to a terminal.
  4. Close the loop The circuit is solved live (Ohm, Kirchhoff) and the diagram follows.
