EET 3086 Exam 2 UPDATED
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
A series circuit consists of two fixed resistors of 1.5 kΩ and 3.3 kΩ, and a 10 kΩ potentiometer. The
maximum resistance of the circuit is - CORRECT ANSWER 14.8 kΩ
A series circuit consists of three resistors with values of 1.2 kΩ, 2.2 kΩ, and 3.3 kΩ across a 15-V
source. The current through the 2.2 kΩ resistor is - CORRECT ANSWER 2.24 mA
A 2.2 kΩ resistor has 4 mA of current passing through it. The resistor dissipates - CORRECT
ANSWER 35.2 mW
A series circuit consists of three resistors with values of 680 Ω, 1.2 kΩ, and 2 kΩ across a 15-V
source. The voltage across the 1.2 kΩ resistor is - CORRECT ANSWER 4.64 V
An internal resistance (RS) of 75 Ω is in series with a 150 Ω load potentiometer across a 20-V source.
The maximum possible load power for the circuit is - CORRECT ANSWER 1.33 W
An 18-V source is connected to a 1 kΩ resistor with a 5% tolerance. The maximum current value for
the circuit is - CORRECT ANSWER 18.95 mA
Four equal resistors are connected in series between a 24 -V voltage source and ground. The resistor
third from the voltage source (second from ground) has opened. If you were to measure the voltage
across the resistor closest to ground, you would get a reading of - CORRECT ANSWER 0V
Maximum transfer of power to a variable load occurs when - CORRECT ANSWER the load
and source resistance are equal
The first 8 questions are multiple choices. The last 4 questions are fill in blanks. for the last 4
problems DO NOT WRITE THE UNITS ONLY ENTER YOUR NUMERICAL ANSWER IN THE
SPACE PROVIDED, for example if your answer is 29.5 volts for a given problem, just simply write
29.5 and you have 0.85 amps for a current, just write 0.85 (NOT .85).
