Exercise from the chapter "Resistor networks"

Three loads in parallel: Req

Level 3 of 5 · Skills: Analyse

Statement

At 12 V, three loads in parallel: R₁ = 39 Ω, R₂ drawing 2 A and R₃ absorbing 6.55 W. Compute the equivalent resistance seen by G, then compare with the measurement.

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

3 hints from Bastaya available in the lab
Solution

R₂ = 12 / 2 = 6 Ω; R₃ = 12² / 6.55 = 22 Ω; Req = 4.21 Ω.

How does it work?

The perfboard: each big hole is a circuit node. You push a single leg of a component (resistor, lamp...) into it. The 4 small holes around it are connected to it: that is where chips and leads plug in.

  1. Drag a component onto the board: it snaps onto the grid. R rotates it.
  2. To join neighbouring big holes, click Jumper chip in the palette (or C) then drag on the board: a line of chips is laid at once. Bridged holes become a single node.
  3. For long links and for the power supply (placed next to the board), drag a lead from one big hole to another (or to a terminal).
  4. As soon as a loop is closed, the circuit is solved in real time (Ohm + Kirchhoff) and the diagram follows.
  5. Zoom with the wheel (or + / −, two-finger pinch); drag the background to pan, 0 fits the board. The + buttons around the board add a row or a column.
