Electricity - Basic Navy Training Courses
NAVPERS 10622

Here is the "Electricity - Basic Navy Training Courses" (NAVPERS 10622) in its entirety. It should provide one of the Internet's best resources for people seeking a basic electricity course - complete with examples worked out. See copyright. See Table of Contents.   • U.S. Government Printing Office; 1945 - 618779

Note: A value written as 1-1/4 should be interpreted as "one and a quarter" (1.25), not "one minus a quarter" (0.75). The dash is akin to a hyphen connecting the whole number to the fraction. 

 

Chapter 9 QUIZ

PARALLEL CIRCUITS

 

1. Work out the answers for each unknown in the practice circuits in the following drawing.

 

 

2. Four motors are paralleled on a 120 volt line. What is the total line current if each motor draws 2.5 amperes?

 

3. What is the total resistance of one 10 ohm resistor, one 20 ohm resistor, and one 30 ohm resistor if they are connected in parallel?

 

4. Two loads are connected in parallel on a 220 volt line. The first draws 25 amperes and the second draws 41 amperes. What is the total current? What is the total resistance?

 

5. In a 120 volt parallel circuit there are four devices. One requires 1/2 ampere, another 1/4 ampere, another 1−1/4 amperes, and the fourth 3 amperes. What is the total current required?

 

6. What is the resistance of each device in problem 5? What is the total resistance?

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while typing up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
