Correct Answer: an increase in source voltage
Correct Answer: 6.25 mA
Correct Answer: 72 W
Correct Answer: 61 mA
Correct Answer: 22 mA
Correct Answer: 490 mA
Correct Answer: 4.8 W
Correct Answer: 20 KΩ
Explanation:
10/(R/4) = 2 mA
40/R = 2 mA
R = 40/2 mA
= 40/0.002 A
= 20000 kohm (20 kohm)
40/R = 2 mA
R = 40/2 mA
= 40/0.002 A
= 20000 kohm (20 kohm)
Correct Answer: increases
Correct Answer: less than 120 Ω but greater than 100 Ω
