Chapter 2, Solution 1. Design a problem, complete with a solution, to help students to
better understand Ohm’s Law. Use at least two resistors and one voltage source. Hint,
you could use both resistors at once or one at a time, it is up to you. Be creative.
Although there is no correct way to work this problem, this is an example based on the
same kind of problem asked in the third edition.
Problem

Figure 2.86
For Prob. 2.22
Solution
At the node, KCL requires that [–Vo/10]+[–25]+[–2Vo] = 0 or 2.1Vo = –25
or Vo = –11.905 V
The current through the controlled source is i = 2V0 = –23.81 A
and the voltage across it is V1 = (10+10) i0 (where i0 = –V0/10) = 20(11.905/10) = 23.81 V.
Hence,
pdependent source = V1(–i) = 23.81x(–(–23.81)) = 566.9 W
Checking, (25–23.81)2(10+10) + (23.81)(–25) + 566.9 = 28.322 – 595.2 + 566.9
= 0.022 which is equal zero since we are using four places of accuracy!

(a) We note that the top 2k-ohm resistor is actually in parallel with the first 1k-ohm
resistor. This can be replaced (2/3)k-ohm resistor. This is now in series with the second
2k-ohm resistor which produces a 2.667k-ohm resistor which is now in parallel with the
second 1k-ohm resistor. This now leads to,
Req = [(1x2.667)/3.667]k = 727.3 Ω.
(b) We note that the two 12k-ohm resistors are in parallel producing a 6k-ohm resistor.
This is in series with the 6k-ohm resistor which results in a 12k-ohm resistor which is in
parallel with the 4k-ohm resistor producing,
Req = [(4x12)/16]k = 3 kΩ.

Once the 160and 80resistors are in parallel, they have the same voltage
120V. Hence the current through the 40resistor is equal to 2 amps.
40(0.5 + 1.5) = 80 volts.
Thus
vs = 80 + 120 = 200 V.

Chapter 2, Solution 59
Fundamentals of Electric Circuits Alexander 5th Edition Solutions Manual
Three light bulbs are connected in series to a 120-V source as shown in Fig.
2.123. Find the current I through each of the bulbs. Each bulb is rated at 120
volts. How much power is each bulb absorbing? Do they generate much light?
Figure 2.123
For Prob. 2.59.
Solution
Using p = v2/R, we can calculate the resistance of each bulb.
R30W = (120)2/30 = 14,400/30 = 480 Ω
R40W = (120)2/40 = 14,400/40 = 360 Ω
R50W = (120)2/50 = 14,400/50 = 288 Ω
The total resistance of the three bulbs in series is 480+360+288 = 1128 Ω.
The current flowing through each bulb is 120/1128 = 0.10638 A.
p30 = (0.10638)2480 = 0.011317x480 = 5.432 W.
p40 = (0.10638)2360 = 0.011317x360 = 4.074 W.
p50 = (0.10638)2288 = 0.011317x288 = 3.259 W.
Clearly these values are well below the rated powers of each light bulb so we
would not expect very much light from any of them. To work properly, they need
to be connected in parallel.

Chapter 2, Solution 60
Fundamentals of Electric Circuits Alexander 5th Edition Solutions Manual
If the three bulbs of Prob. 2.59 are connected in parallel to the 120-V source,
calculate the current through each bulb.
Solution
Using p = v2/R, we can calculate the resistance of each bulb.
R30W = (120)2/30 = 14,400/30 = 480 Ω
R40W = (120)2/40 = 14,400/40 = 360 Ω
R50W = (120)2/50 = 14,400/50 = 288 Ω
The current flowing through each bulb is 120/R.
i30 = 120/480 = 250 mA.
i40 = 120/360 = 333.3 mA.
i30 = 120/288 = 416.7 mA.
Unlike the light bulbs in 2.59, the lights will glow brightly!

There are three possibilities, but they must also satisfy the current range of 1.2 +
0.06 = 1.26 and 1.2 – 0.06 = 1.14.
(a) Use R1 and R2:
R = R1 R 2 80 90 42.35
p = i2R = 70W
i2
= 70/42.35 = 1.6529 or i = 1.2857 (which is outside our range)
cost = $0.60 + $0.90 = $1.50
(b) Use R1 and R3:
R = R1 R 3 80 100 44.44
i2
= 70/44.44 = 1.5752 or i = 1.2551 (which is within our range),
cost = $1.35
(c) Use R2 and R3:
R = R 2 R 3 90 100 47.37
i2
= 70/47.37 = 1.4777 or i = 1.2156 (which is within our range),
cost = $1.65
Note that cases (b) and (c) satisfy the current range criteria and (b) is the
cheaper of the two, hence the correct choice is:
R1 and R3

Let R3 represent the resistance of the first device, we can solve for its value from
knowing the voltage across it and the current through it.
R3 = 9/0.005 = 1,800 Ω
This is an interesting problem in that it essentially has two unknowns, R1 and R2 but only
one condition that need to be met and that the voltage across R3 must equal 9 volts.
Since the circuit is powered by a battery we could choose the value of R2 which draws
the least current, R2 = ∞. Thus we can calculate the value of R1 that give 9 volts across
R3.
9 = (24/(R1 + 1800))1800 or R1 = (24/9)1800 – 1800 = 3 kΩ
This value of R1 means that we only have a total of 25 mA flowing out of the battery
through the fuse which means it will not open and produces a voltage drop across it of
0.05V. This is indeed negligible when compared with the 24-volt source.
