Example 2.3. The element of 500 watt electric iron is
designed for use on a 200 V supply. What value of resistance is needed to be connected in series in order that the iron can be operated from 240 V supply? Solution Numerical Problem
Example 2.4. Determine the resistance and the power
dissipation of a resistor that must be placed in series with a 75 - ohm resistor across 120 V source in order to limit the power dissipation in the 75 - ohm resistor to 90 watts. Solution Numerical Problem Solution Numerical Problem Solution D.C. Parallel Circuit When one end of each resistance is joined to a common point and the other end of each resistance is joined to another common point so that there are as many paths for current flow as the number of resistances, it is called a parallel circuit.
