From the figure it can be concluded that the voltmeter reads 5 volts as shown in the figure below.
Based on the voltmeter and ammeter readings in the measuring network, determine the value of the resistor R
Here
Current I = 1/2 A = 0.5 A
Voltage V = 5 V
R = V/I = 0.5/5
R = 10Ω
The resistance R3 & R4 are connected in series = (30 + 70) = 100Ω Now three resistor i.e 100Ω, 100Ω & 50Ω is connected in parallel 1/Rp = 1/100 + 1/100 + 1/50 Rp = 100/4 = 25 Ω Resistance 50Ω and 25Ω are connected in series. Rtotal = (50 + 25)Ω Rtotal = 75Ω
Galvanized steel conductors do not corrode, and possess high resistance. Hence such Wires are used in telecommunications circuits, earth wires, guard wire, stray wire, etc.
