Which of the following is an important rule to remember when using Ohm's Law to solve ac circuit problems?
- A.
Always solve for resistance first
- B.
Give the answer as effective value
- C.
Never mix values
- D.
Convert all given values to effective before attempting to solve
Correct Answer
C. Never mix valuesExplanation
When using Ohm's Law to solve AC circuit problems, it is important to never mix values. This means that all values used in the calculations should be either in terms of peak value or effective value, but not a mixture of both. Mixing values can lead to incorrect calculations and inaccurate results. It is crucial to ensure consistency in the units and types of values used throughout the problem-solving process to obtain accurate solutions.Rate this question:

An ac circuit is composed of three 20- ohm resistors connected in parallel. The average voltage supplied to this circuit is 62-volts ac. What is the maximum current?
- A.
9.3 amperes
- B.
14.6 amperes
- C.
17.5 amperes
- D.
22.5 amperes
Correct Answer
B. 14.6 amperesExplanation
The maximum current in a parallel circuit is determined by the smallest resistance. In this case, the three resistors are connected in parallel, so the total resistance is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances. Using this formula, the total resistance is 1/(1/20 + 1/20 + 1/20) = 6.67 ohms. The maximum current can be calculated using Ohm's Law, which states that current is equal to voltage divided by resistance. Therefore, the maximum current is 62 volts / 6.67 ohms = 9.3 amperes.Rate this question:
