Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a scenario where an IoT sensor node sleeps 95% of the time and uses 1mW in sleep mode and 50mW when active, calculate the total energy consumed over a 10-day period.

💡 Hint: Remember to convert days into hours for the calculations.

Question 2

Propose a low-power data handling strategy for an environmental monitoring sensor that uploads data every hour but needs to conserve energy during idle periods.

💡 Hint: Think about how often and when to activate the sensor's communication module.
