Answer: Option C

168)

When one of three series resistors is removed from a circuit and the circuit is reconnected, the current


Answer: Option A

169)

A certain series circuit consists of a 1/8 W resistor, a 1/4 W resistor, and a 1/2 W resistor. The total resistance is 1200 Ω. If each resistor is operating in the circuit at its maximum power dissipation, total current flow is


Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Total P = P1 + P2 + P3 = 7/8w. 

P = I2R. 

I = sqrt (P/R)

Now, P = 7/8w, R = 1200 ohm.

Therefore,

I= sqrt ( (7/8)/1200 ) = 0.0270030862 = 27 mA.
