Problem Set 1

This document contains 7 practice problems for an introductory electrical and electronics engineering course. The problems cover topics like: 1) Calculating resistor length given resistivity, thickness and width. 2) Finding new resistance when wire length increases. 3) Finding resistance change when wire diameter decreases. 4) Finding new temperature given original resistance, final resistance, and temperature coefficient. 5) Calculating equivalent resistance in a circuit. 6) Finding power wasted in a series resistor for an arc lamp. 7) Finding voltages, currents, and power dissipation in a multi-element circuit. Students are instructed to show all work and write on bond paper.

PROBLEM SET 1

EE105 – BASIC ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Write your answers on short bond paper.
2. Show complete solution for every problem

1. Nichrome ribbon resistor elements each has a resistance of 1 ohm. The element is made from sheet of
nichrome alloy, 0.025 cm thick. If the width of the ribbon is 0.3 cm, what length is required per
element? Assume specific resistance of nichrome alloy to be 109 micro-ohm-cm

2. A copper wire of unknown length has a resistance of 0.80 ohm. By successive passes through drawing
dies, the length of the wire is increased to 2 ½ times its original value. Assuming that resistivity
remains unchanged during the drawing process, determine the new value of its resistance

3. A conductor whose diameter is 0.175 inch has a resistance of 0.5 ohm. The wire is drawn through a
series of dies until its diameter is reduced to 0.08 inch. Assuming the specific resistance of the
material remains constant, what is the resistance of lengthened conductor?

4. The field windings of a series motor has a resistance of 120 ohms at 15O C. After running for two
hours, the resistance increased to 140 ohms. If the temperature coefficient of the windings at 0O C is
0.004, find the new temperature of the windings.

5. Find Req for the circuit below

6. An arc lamp takes 10 A at 50 volts. A resistance R is to be placed in series so that the lamp may burn
correctly from a 110 V supply. Find the power wasted in this resistor.

7. Find v1 and v2 in the circuit shown. Also calculate i1 and i2 and the power dissipated in the 12- Ω and
40-Ω resistors.
