Solution

Apply KVL,

–10 + (16+14)I + 25 = 0 or 30I = 10–25 = – or I = –15/30 = –500 mA

Also, –10 + 16I + Vo = 0 or Vo = 10 – 16(–0.5) = 10+8 = 18 V

Chapter 2, Solution 17

Fundamentals of Electric Circuits Alexander 5th Edition Solutions Manual

Applying KVL around the entire outside loop we get,

–24 + v1 + 10 + 12 = 0 or v1 = 2V

Applying KVL around the loop containing v2, the 10-volt source, and the

12-volt source we get,

v2 + 10 + 12 = 0 or v2 = –22V

Applying KVL around the loop containing v3 and the 10-volt source we

get,

–v3 + 10 = 0 or v3 = 10V

Applying KVL around the loop, we obtain

Power supplied by the sources:

p12V = 12 ((–2)) = –24W

p10V = 10 (–(–2)) = 20W

Applying KVL,

-15 + (1+5+2)I + 2 Vx = 0

But Vx = 5I, -15 +8I + 10I =0, I = 5/6

Vx = 5I = 25/6 = 4.167 V

source.

Figure 2.86

For Prob. 2.22

Solution

At the node, KCL requires that [–Vo/10]+[–25]+[–2Vo] = 0 or 2.1Vo = –25

or Vo = –11.905 V

The current through the controlled source is i = 2V0 = –23.81 A

and the voltage across it is V1 = (10+10) i0 (where i0 = –V0/10) = 20(11.905/10) = 23.81 V.

Hence,

pdependent source = V1(–i) = 23.81x(–(–23.81)) = 566.9 W

Checking, (25–23.81)2(10+10) + (23.81)(–25) + 566.9 = 28.322 – 595.2 + 566.9

= 0.022 which is equal zero since we are using four places of accuracy!

i2 = 48/2 = 24A.

Thus,

ix = i8 + i4 + i2 + i16 = 6 + 12 + 24 + 3 = 45 A

resistor. This can be replaced (2/3)k-ohm resistor. This is now in series with the second

2k-ohm resistor which produces a 2.667k-ohm resistor which is now in parallel with the

second 1k-ohm resistor. This now leads to,

Req = [(1x2.667)/3.667]k = 727.3 Ω.

(b) We note that the two 12k-ohm resistors are in parallel producing a 6k-ohm resistor.

This is in series with the 6k-ohm resistor which results in a 12k-ohm resistor which is in

Once the 160and 80resistors are in parallel, they have the same voltage

120V. Hence the current through the 40resistor is equal to 2 amps.

40(0.5 + 1.5) = 80 volts.

Thus

vs = 80 + 120 = 200 V.

Fundamentals of Electric Circuits Alexander 5th Edition Solutions Manual

Three light bulbs are connected in series to a 120-V source as shown in Fig.

2.123. Find the current I through each of the bulbs. Each bulb is rated at 120

volts. How much power is each bulb absorbing? Do they generate much light?

Figure 2.123

For Prob. 2.59.

Solution

Using p = v2/R, we can calculate the resistance of each bulb.

R30W = (120)2/30 = 14,400/30 = 480 Ω

R40W = (120)2/40 = 14,400/40 = 360 Ω

R50W = (120)2/50 = 14,400/50 = 288 Ω

The total resistance of the three bulbs in series is 480+360+288 = 1128 Ω.

The current flowing through each bulb is 120/1128 = 0.10638 A.

p30 = (0.10638)2480 = 0.011317x480 = 5.432 W.

p40 = (0.10638)2360 = 0.011317x360 = 4.074 W.

p50 = (0.10638)2288 = 0.011317x288 = 3.259 W.

Clearly these values are well below the rated powers of each light bulb so we

would not expect very much light from any of them. To work properly, they need

to be connected in parallel.

Chapter 2, Solution 60

Fundamentals of Electric Circuits Alexander 5th Edition Solutions Manual

If the three bulbs of Prob. 2.59 are connected in parallel to the 120-V source,

calculate the current through each bulb.

Solution

Using p = v2/R, we can calculate the resistance of each bulb.

R30W = (120)2/30 = 14,400/30 = 480 Ω

R40W = (120)2/40 = 14,400/40 = 360 Ω

R50W = (120)2/50 = 14,400/50 = 288 Ω

The current flowing through each bulb is 120/R.

i30 = 120/480 = 250 mA.

i40 = 120/360 = 333.3 mA.

i30 = 120/288 = 416.7 mA.

Unlike the light bulbs in 2.59, the lights will glow brightly!

There are three possibilities, but they must also satisfy the current range of 1.2 +

R = R1 R 2 80 90 42.35

p = i2R = 70W

i2

= 70/42.35 = 1.6529 or i = 1.2857 (which is outside our range)

cost = $0.60 + $0.90 = $1.50

(b) Use R1 and R3:

R = R1 R 3 80 100 44.44

i2

= 70/44.44 = 1.5752 or i = 1.2551 (which is within our range),

(c) Use R2 and R3:

R = R 2 R 3 90 100 47.37

i2

= 70/47.37 = 1.4777 or i = 1.2156 (which is within our range),

cost = $1.65

Note that cases (b) and (c) satisfy the current range criteria and (b) is the

cheaper of the two, hence the correct choice is:

Let R3 represent the resistance of the first device, we can solve for its value from

knowing the voltage across it and the current through it.

R3 = 9/0.005 = 1,800 Ω

This is an interesting problem in that it essentially has two unknowns, R1 and R2 but only

one condition that need to be met and that the voltage across R3 must equal 9 volts.

Since the circuit is powered by a battery we could choose the value of R2 which draws

the least current, R2 = ∞. Thus we can calculate the value of R1 that give 9 volts across

R3.

9 = (24/(R1 + 1800))1800 or R1 = (24/9)1800 – 1800 = 3 kΩ

This value of R1 means that we only have a total of 25 mA flowing out of the battery

through the fuse which means it will not open and produces a voltage drop across it of

0.05V. This is indeed negligible when compared with the 24-volt source.
