Practice Problem for ECE 1-5
An LED is in series with a 1000 ohms resistor with a supply voltage of 9 volts.
a. What is the voltage drop of the LED and the resistor? VLED =1.773, VR = 7.3
v
b. How much is the current of the circuit? 7.227 mA
c. If the voltage is decreased to 6 volts, compare the brightness of the
conditions. 9 V will be brighter
d. What is the effect of the decrease in voltage to current? Show your proof.
4.254 mA
e. Put again the 9 volts battery and change the resistance to 20,000 ohms,
what happened? LED is off, I= 369 uA
f. What will happen if the resistor becomes shorted?
6) SERIES CIRCUIT
Power
• The ability to do something
• The rate per unit time, at which electrical energy is transferred by an
electric circuit.
• The rate of work
• Measured in watt
Dissipated Power in Resistor – equation in terms of resistance
Supply power – in terms of current and voltage
Power Formula
P = IV substitute I = E/R substitute E = IR
Where: P = E/R x E P = I x IR
P = power, watt P = V2 P = I2 R
I = current, ampere R
E = voltage, volt
SERIES CIRCUIT CHARACTERISTICS
1. CURRENT IS THE SAME IN ALL PARTS OF
THE CIRCUIT.
IT = I 1 = I2 = I 3 = I 4
SERIES CIRCUIT CHARACTERISTICS
2. TOTAL RESISTANCE
RT = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4
SERIES CIRCUIT CHARACTERISTICS
3. TOTAL POWER
PT = P1 + P2 + P3 + P4
SERIES CIRCUIT CHARACTERISTICS
4. THE VOLTAGE DROPS IN ALL THE RESISTORS
IS EQUAL TO THE TOTAL VOLTAGE OF THE
CIRCUIT.
ET = E1 + E2 + E3 +E4
voltage divider
Kirchhoff’s voltage LAW (KVL)
The algebraic sum of all the voltage drops in a loop
+ - + - is equal to zero.

USING ELECTRON FLOW:
- -E + E4 + E3 + E2 + E1 = 0
+
E = E 4 + E3 + E2 + E1

USING CONVENTIONAL FLOW:
-
E - E 1 - E2 - E3 - E4 = 0
