2024年11月7日 · Potential divider circuits are based on the ratio of voltage between components. This is equal to the ratio of the resistances of the resistors in the diagram below, giving the following equation: The circuit is designed to light up a …

The heater circuit is connected across R and will switch on when the potential difference across it is above 5.5 V. The variation of resistance of the thermistor R T with temperature is shown on the graph. The heater switches on when the temperature falls below 20 °C. Calculate the resistance of the fixed resistor R. (3)

2023年1月10日 · (b) A heater is made from a wire of resistance 18.0 2 and is connected to a power supply of 240V. The heater is switched on for 2.60Ms. Calculate (i) the power transformed in the heater, power = ...

(b) The heater in (a) is connected to a mains supply by means of two long cables, , illustrated in Fig. 7.1. The cables have a total resistance of 4.0 Ω. The voltage of the mains supply is adjusted so that the heater operates normally at 240V. Using your …

1 The maximum power input to a domestic fan heater is 2.6 kW when connected to the 230 V mains supply. The electric circuit of the fan heater consists of two heating elements (resistors) rated at 1.5 kW and 1.0 kW, a motor rated at 100 W and three switches. Show that the resistance of the 1.5 kW heating element is about 35 Ω.
