Question No. 3 (((PLO_1, CLO_1, C3) (10 marks)

(i) The figure shows a resistor of 250 Ω is connected in series with the second resistor of 750
Ω so that the 250 Ω resistor is connected to a supply of 12 V and 750 Ω resistor is connected
to the ground (0V). Solve for total series resistance, the current flowing through the series
circuit and voltage drop across the 750 Ω resistor. (4)

(ii) A 270O single turn 1.5 kΩ carbon track rotary potentiometer is required to produce a 6V
supply from a 9V battery. Solve for
a) The angular position of the wiper on the track in degrees (3)
b) The values of resistors either side of the wiper (3)
