Correct Answer: less than 120 Ω but greater than 100 Ω
Correct Answer: increases
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: 4.8 W
Correct Answer: 490 mA
Correct Answer: 1.8 A
Correct Answer: is less than 600 Ω
Correct Answer: 70 mA
Correct Answer: R3 is open
Correct Answer: 1.24 A
