Tutorial 3

1. A parallel circuit consists of a coffee maker, a toaster, and a frying pan plugged into a
kitchen appliance circuit on a 120-V line (Fig. 1). What currents will flow in each branch
of the circuit and what is the total current drawn by all the appliances?

2. How many cells are necessary to produce a battery with double the voltage and
current rating of a single cell? Draw a schematic diagram.

3. Draw pictorial and schematic diagrams showing two 12-V lead-acid batteries being
charged by a 15-V source. Show the direction of current during charge.

4. Calculate the value for voltage reading at resistor R1 and current goes thru resistor R6.
100 V.
