Calculate the resistance of parallel connected resistances distributed each one with 𝟓 𝒄𝒎
length with total length of 𝟐 𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓. Total heating of the parallel connected resistance in
𝑾
wire need to be equal to 𝟐𝟓 𝒎. Supply voltage is 𝟐𝟑𝟎 𝑽.

Solution:

Total number of parallel resistors connected on two wire with assumed 0 resistance will be:
𝐿 1
𝑛𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐 = = = 20 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟
𝑙𝑏𝑟 0.05
for a length of 2 m total number of resistors will be 𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑡 = 20 ⋅ 2 = 40 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠

Total consumed power for 1 meter will be:


2
𝑈𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝
𝑃𝑡𝑜𝑡 =
𝑅𝑒𝑞

Equivalent resistance for 20 resistors with same resistance is calculated as:


𝑟 Ω
𝑅𝑒𝑞 = [ ]
𝑛 𝑚
𝑊
Because specific power is 𝑝ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑡 = 25 𝑚 equivalent resistance for 1 meter of heating wire will be
calculated as:

𝑈2 𝑈2 Ω
𝑝ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑡 = 𝑈 ⋅ 𝐼 = => 𝑅𝑒𝑞 = [ ]
𝑅𝑒𝑞 𝑝ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑚

2302 Ω
𝑅𝑒𝑞 = = 2116
25 𝑚
Equivalent resistance of only one resistor is calculate as:

𝑟 = 𝑅𝑒𝑞 ⋅ 𝑛 = 2116 ⋅ 20 = 42320 Ω per resistor

Power dissipated for only one resistor can be calculated as


𝑝ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑡 25
𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠 = = = 1.25 𝑊 𝑜𝑟
𝑛 20
𝑈2 2302
𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠 = = = 1.25 𝑊
𝑟 42320
For a heating wire with 2-meter length total number of resistors will be 40, power draw will be 50 𝑊
and equivalent resistance is 1058 Ω.
