ENGR D037 - Introduction to Circuit Analysis

Class Assignment 4 – 5/04/2023

1. If an ammeter with an internal resistance of 100 Ω and a current capacity of 2 mA is


to measure 5 A, determine the value of the resistance needed. Calculate the power
dissipated in the shunt resistor.

𝑅𝑚 = 100  𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐼𝑚 = 2 𝑚𝐴; 𝐼 = 5 𝐴

𝐼 = 𝐼𝑚 + 𝐼𝑛  𝐼𝑛 = 4.998 𝐴

Voltage across Meter and 𝑅𝑛 is same


100 . 2 . 10−3 = (4.998) . 𝑅𝑛

𝑅𝑛 = 0.04 
𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑝𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 = 𝐼 2 𝑛 𝑅𝑛 = 0.99 𝑊

2. Design a circuit that uses a d’Arsonval meter (with an internal resistance of 2 kΩ that
requires a current of 5 mA to cause the meter to deflect full scale) to build a
voltmeter to read values of voltages up to 100 volts.

Design Examples:

3. As a design engineer, you are asked to design a lighting system consisting of a 70-W
power supply and two light bulbs as shown in Fig. 2.124. You must select the two
bulbs from the following three available bulbs.
R1 = 80 Ω, cost = $0.60 (standard size)
R2 = 90 Ω, cost = $0.90 (standard size)
R3 = 100 Ω, cost = $0.75 (nonstandard size)
The system should be designed for minimum cost such that I lie within the range I =
1.2 A ± 5 percent of 1.2 A.

There are three possibilities, but they must also satisfy the current range of 1.2 + 0.06 = 1.26 and
1.2 – 0.04= 1.14

(a) Use R1 and R2:


R = R 1 R 2 = 80 90 = 42.35
p = i2R = 70W
i2 = 70/42.35 = 1.6529 or i = 1.2857 (outside the range)
cost = $0.60 + $0.90 = $1.50

(b) Use R1 and R3:


R = R 1 R 3 = 80 100 = 44.44 
i2 = 70/44.44 = 1.5752 or i = 1.2551 (can be considered inside the 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 (within the range), cost = $1.65
4. The network shown below is an equivalent circuit for a transistor amplifier used in a
stereo preamplifier. The input circuitry consists of a 2-mV source in series with a 500
 resistor. The dependent source, Rin, and Ro model the transistor, which amplifies
the signal and then sends it to the power amplifier. The 10 k load resistor models
the input to the power amplifier that actually drives the speakers. As Engineer, of
company D037, design a transistor amplifier, shown in the network below, that
provides an overall gain of –200. The model parameters for three different
transistors are listed as follows:

Design the amplifier by choosing the transistor that produces the most accurate gain.
What is the percent error of your choice?

Note: In practice we do not actually vary the device parameters to achieve the desired gain;
rather, we select a transistor from the manufacturer’s data books that will satisfy the required
specification.
