Resistor Voltages and Currents
Lowercase symbols represent
instantaneous values of current or
voltage. They change sinusoidally with
time.
Uppercase symbols represent
peak values of current or
voltage. They are fixed
quantities.

Checking Understanding
If the primary coil of wire on a transformer is kept the same and
the number of turns of wire on the secondary is increased, how will
this affect the voltage observed at the secondary?
A. The voltage will increase.
B. The voltage will stay the same.
C. The voltage will decrease.

Example Problem
A 120 V (rms) AC power supply is connected to a motor, which is
rated at 100 W.
A.
What is the rms current in the circuit?
Now suppose that the wires used to connect the motor to the
power supply have a resistance of 7.0 .
B.
Assume that the rms current stays the same. What is the
voltage drop across the resistance of the wires? What is
the voltage at the motor now?

Slide 26-18
Example Problem
Clearly this is untenable. Now suppose the power supply is
1200 V, and the motor is rated at 100 W at this higher voltage.
C. What is the current in the circuit, assuming no resistance
in the wires?
D. If the wires have a resistance of 7.0 , what is the voltage
drop across the wires? The voltage at the motor?
Now suppose the power supply is increased to 12,000 V, and the
motor is rated at 100 W at this still higher voltage.
E.
F.
What is the current in the circuit, assuming no resistance
in the wires?
If the wires have a resistance of 7.0 , what is the voltage
drop across the wires? The voltage at the motor?

Example Problem
Suppose a person is standing, barefoot, on wet ground. The
resistance of the skin on each foot is 300 . He now grabs an
improperly wired device with his right hand—establishing a
connection to the hot wire of the electric supply. His hand is a
bit sweaty, so the resistance of the skin is only 1.2 .
A.
B.
What current will flow through his body?
Will this be large enough for him to feel? Large
enough to be dangerous?
