THERE ARE TWO SECTIONS TO THIS PAPER.
4. Find the current drawn by a 60-W incandescent lamp rated for 120-V operation. Also find
the current drawn by a 150-W, 120-V lamp and a 300-W, 120-V lamp. As the wattage
increases, what happens to the current?
5. A radio receiver draws 0.9 A at 110V. If the set is used 3 h/day, how much
6. Find the power dissipated in each branch and the total power of the circuit.
8. What does the term tolerance mean in the resistor color coding.
ii.Use the Mesh analysis to find the current I1,I2 and the current through R2, also find the
voltages across the resistors from fig. 2.1
[16marks]
ii. Difference between the NOT, NAND and the EX - OR logical gates.
iii. Convert the following binary numbers to their decimal equivalents:
(a) 00001110 (b) 11100000 (c) 10000011 (d) 10011010 [16marks]
6. i. With a neat diagram, explain the working principle of the PNP and NPN Transistor.
