What is the value of the current when: (1) the effective voltage is 120 volts; (2) the resistance of the source is 3 ohms; (3) the resistance of the conductors is 2 ohms; and (4) the resistance of the load is 5 ohms?    

Explanation

The current can be calculated using Ohm's Law, which states that current (I) is equal to voltage (V) divided by resistance (R). In this case, the effective voltage is given as 120 volts, and the total resistance is the sum of the resistance of the source (3 ohms), the conductors (2 ohms), and the load (5 ohms), which is equal to 10 ohms. Therefore, the current is 120 volts divided by 10 ohms, which equals 12 amperes. However, the question asks for the value of the current, not the effective value. The effective value is the root mean square (RMS) value, which is equal to the peak value divided by the square root of 2. Therefore, to find the value of the current, we need to divide the RMS value by the square root of 2. 12 amperes divided by the square root of 2 is approximately 1.20 amperes.
