HW 2

This document contains 4 homework problems from an introduction to electronics course. Problem 1 involves analyzing voltage measurements across resistors in a voltage divider circuit and developing a model for the voltage measuring device. Problem 2 repeats the process but develops a model for the voltage source instead. Problem 3 requires using Kirchhoff's laws to solve for unknown voltages in a circuit with voltage drops indicated. Problem 4 asks to find the equivalent resistances of two resistor networks using terminals A and B.

Problem 1.

A voltage divider is formed with resistors R1 and R2. A voltmeter is used to measure the
voltage across resistor R2. The following table gives the values for the measured voltage
Vo as a function of resistors R1 and R2 and the ideal voltage source VB.

VB (Volts) R1 (Ohms) R2 (Ohms) Vo (Volts)


5 1000 1000 2.498
5 10000 10000 2.475
5 100000 100000 2.273
5 500000 500000 1.667

1. From these data develop a simple circuit model for the voltage measuring device.
2. Give the parameters for an ideal voltmeter (i.e a device which for the above cases
will always measure 2.50 Volts.
Problem 2.
We know have an ideal voltmeter and we measure the voltage across R2 with the
following results

VB (Volts) R1 (Ohms) R2 (Ohms) Vo (Volts)


5 1000 1000 1.667
5 10000 10000 2.381
5 100000 100000 2.488
5 500000 500000 2.498

1. Now develop a simple model for the voltage source


2. How would you design an ideal voltage source?
