Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a circuit with a 24 V battery and a switch that has a contact resistance of 0.03 Ω, calculate the current flowing through the switch if a 3 A current is flowing through the circuit. How much voltage drop occurs across the switch?

💡 Hint: Remember to use the voltage drop formula (V = I × R).

Question 2

Design a safety feature for a circuit using switches to prevent overload. Describe how to ensure that contact resistance remains low and how to prevent degradation.

💡 Hint: Consider the operating conditions and materials involved.
