Homework 1

(Due next week (09/29) via BB (strongly preferred) or email by 4PM Tuesday; email me if you have any questions.)

Convert the following to standard SI units, using the appropriate prefix. Maintain the same significant figures. Two examples are done for you. Watch out for capitalization: mega (M) is not milli (m)!

Ex1. 0.00026 amps 260 microamps (μA) Ex2. 12,600,000 watts 12.6 megawatts (MW)

6,600 ohms

121.4 volts

271,828.8 joules

0.0121 amps

0.46 watts

Draw an electrical schematic with a voltage source and resistor in series. Show how an ammeter and a voltmeter would be connected to this circuit, in order to measure current through, and voltage across, the resistor.

What would you have to do in order to measure the resistance of the resistor in your circuit, using an ohmmeter? Draw this setup.
