1.- What is the potential drop across a 6- resistor if the current through it is 2.5 A?

2.- What is the current through a 72- resistor if the voltage drop across it is 12 V?

3.- How much resistance is required to limit the current to 1.5 mA if the potential drop across the
resistor is 6 V?

4.- At starting, what is the current drain on a 12-V car battery if the resistance of the starting motor
is 0.056 ?

5.- If the current through a 0.02-M resistor is 3.6 mA, what is the voltage drop across the resistor?

6.- If a voltmeter has an internal resistance of 15 k, find the current through the meter when it
reads 62 V.

7.- If a refrigerator draws 2.2 A at 120 V, what is its resistance?

8.- If a clock has an internal resistance of 7.5 k, find thecurrent through the clock if it is plugged
into a 120-V outlet.

9.- A washing machine is rated at 4.2 A at 120 V. What is its internal resistance?

10.- If a soldering iron draws 0.76 A at 120 V, what is its resistance?

11.- The input current to a transistor is 20 mA. If the applied

(input) voltage is 24 mV, determine the input resistance of the transistor.

12.- The internal resistance of a dc generator is 0.5 . Determine the loss in terminal voltage across
this internal resistance if the current is 15 A.

resistance of the heater?
