Problem 2-8

A certain type of film resistor is available with resistance values between 10 Ω and 100 MΩ. The maximum ratings for all resistors of this type are 500 V and 1/4 W. Show that the voltage rating is the controlling limit for R > 1 MΩ, and that the power rating is the controlling limit when R < 1 MΩ.

Solution:

p = 1/4;

R = V^2/p

R =

At R = 1 MΩ, both p and v can take their maximum values and there are no issues. For R > 1MΩ, with a maximum voltage, the power must be less than 0.25 W, so the voltage rating on a particular resistor will control the maximum allowable value for the power. For R < 1 MΩ, with a maximum voltage, the power will be greater than 0.25 W, so the power rating on a particular resistor will control the maximum allowable value for the voltage.

Answer:

Presented above.

(c) For v = 5 V, i = 1.45 ´ 1071 A and p = 7.23 ´ 1071 W. The model is not valid because the current and power are too large.

(d) For v = -5 V, i = −2.00 ´ 10−16 A and p = 1.00 ´ 10−15 W. The model is valid because the current and power are both essentially zero.
