last question

Computers are good at reading out voltages, so these devices are often combined ith a fixed-value resistor to create a voltage divider arait Consider the orcuit shown below where the fixed resistor, R, has a resistance of 10.0 and the SR has a res sta on of 50.0 when there s na fo ce ting on the PS, A voltage V-500 V is being appled to the two senes resistors. FSR What is the current flowing through the FSR when there is no force being applied to the FSR? 8.33 x10 S A Previous Ties rece What is the current flowing through the foxed resistor when there is no force being applied to the FSR? 8.33x 10-S A egative terminal of the voltage source to be at a potential of zero Wolts. What is the electric potential (voltage) at the location A between the two resistors? 0.833 V are correct. 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? 0 313A Remember that the resistances are given in k2, not 2. How are kd and 2 related? would be the electric potential at Location A between the two resistors with the applied force of 1.30 N? Submit Answer Incorrect.

Explanation / Answer

I = V/R = 5 / (16x10^3) = 3.13 x 10^-4 A

As you might have forgot to consider kilo ohms mentioned

Va = V - I x FSR

= 5 - 3.13 x 10^-4 x 6 x 10^3 = 3.122 V

Potential drop = - I x R
