Get started for freeLarge capacitors can hold a potentially dangerous charge long after a circuit has been turned off, so it is important to make sure they are discharged before you touch them. Suppose a capacitor from a camera flash unit retains a voltage of when an unwary student removes it from the camera. If the student accidentally touches the two terminals with his hands, and if the resistance of his body between his hands is, for how long will the current across his chest exceed the danger level of ?
Digital circuits require actions to take place at precise times, so they are controlled by a clock that generates a steady sequence of rectangular voltage pulses. One of the most widely
used integrated circuits for creating clock pulses is called a timer. shows how the timer’s output pulses, oscillating between and , are controlled with two resistors and a capacitor. The circuit manufacturer tells users that , the time the clock output spends in the high state,
is . Similarly, the time spent in the low state is. You need to design a clock that
What is the equivalent resistance between points a and b in FIGURE EX28.25?
A waterbed heater uses of power. It is on of the time, off . What is the annual cost of electricity at a billing rate of ?
What is the equivalent resistance between points a and b in FIGURE EX28.26?
A 12 V car battery dies not so much because its voltage drops but because chemical reactions increase its internal resistance. A good battery connected with jumper cables can both start the engine and recharge the dead battery. Consider the automotive circuit of FIGURE P28.65.
a. How much current could the good battery alone drive through the starter motor?
b. How much current is the dead battery alone able to drive through the starter motor?
c. With the jumper cables attached, how much current passes through the starter motor?
d. With the jumper cables attached, how much current passes through the dead battery, and in which direction?
