(a) Can we connect two different magnitude voltage sources in parallel? Support your answer.
(b) A voltmeter is used to measure Vo in the circuit in Fig. 2.1. The voltmeter model consists of an ideal voltmeter in parallel with a 250-k resistor. Let Vs=95V,Rs=25k, and R1=40k. Analyze the circuit to find out Vo with and without the voltmeter when
(i)R2=5k
(ii)R2=25k
(iii)R2=250k
(c) As a design engineer, you are asked to design a lighting system consisting of a 70-W power supply and two light bulbs as shown in Fig. 2.2. You must select the two bulbs from the following three available bulbs.
R1=80,cost=$0.60( standard size )
R2=90,cost=$0.90( standard size )
R3=100,cost=$0.75( nonstandard size )
The system should be designed for minimum cost such that I lies within the range I=1.2A+-5 percent.
