Question
.oooo T-Mobile 5:31 PM capa9.phy.oh.o.edu 91%- + their resistance when a force is a exerted (when you squeeze them) Computers are good at reading out voltages, so these devices are often combined ith a fixed-value resistor to create a voltage divider circuit. Consider the circuit shown below where the fixed resistor, R, has a resistance of 10.0 k and the FSR has a resistance of 60.0 k when there is no force acting on the FSR. A voltage V=5.00 V is being applied to the two series resistors VFSR What is the current flowing through the FSR when there is no force being applied to the FSR? Submit Answer Tries 0/10 What is the current flowing through the fixed resistor when there is no force being applied to the FSR? Submit Answer Tries 0/10 Consider the negative terminal of the voltage source to be at a potential of zero Volts. What is the electric potential (voltage) at the location A between the two resistors? Submi Anewer Tries 0/10 Suppose that if a force of 1.30 N is applied to the FSR, its resistance decreases to 6.00 k2. What would be the new current through the fixed resistor, R? Submit Answer Tries 0/10 What would be the electric potential at Location A between the two resistors with the applied force of 1.30 N?Explanation / Answer
a) Curret through FSR
I= 5/(10k+60k) = 7.14*10-5 Ampere
b) since both FSR and fixed resistor are in series curent will be same
hence current throuh R is also
I= 5/(10k+60k) = 7.14*10-5 Ampere
c) voltage at location A is
V -0 = 7.14*10-5* 10*103 = 0.714 volt
d) I = 5/(10k+6k) = 3.125*10^-4 A
e) potential at A
V-0= 3.125*10^-4* 10*103 = 3.125 volt
