For questions 1-4 look at this picture
http://geocities.com/atomiccobra/figurea3.gif

1. Look at the circuit shown in Figure A-3. With switch S1 closed, you're making voltage measurements with your meter. Assume that each of the four resistors has a resistance value of 100 kW. You measure 3.6 V across resistor R1, 1.2 V across resistor R2, 1.2 V across resistor R3, and 2.4 V across resistor R4. What is the battery voltage in the circuit?
A. 10 V
B. 6 V
C. 4 V
D. 2 V

B?

2. Again, assume that each of the resistors in the circuit shown in Figure A-3 has a resistance value of 100 kW. With switch S1 open as shown, you measure the voltage across each resistor with your meter. Which of the following statements is correct?
A. Resistors R1, R2, and R3 will dissipate equal amounts of power.
B. Resistor R1 will dissipate the most power.
C. Resistors R4 and R1 will dissipate equal amounts of power.
D. Resistor R3 will dissipate the most power.

D?

Well I use pencils a lot, and when I make a mistake, as you do,
I rub the offending item out, with a rubber.
Perhaphs I am using old-fashioned methods, and now communicate via this system, but what is the best rubber to destroy your mistakes ?

I performed a simple back-yard experiment with my Leica 530 GPS system this morning. I set the base station in a clear area by the pool, set a point nearby on the deck, and a second point under a tree (Acacia) canopy. Every 20 minutes or so I shot the points. Each was measured once, then shot five times in a row using the Leica averaging feature. For the mean coordinates I used the average of the multiplied points.



I wanted to see how the Leica 530 would measure under normal field conditions, including how well I held the rod on the point using a bipod. Satellites ranged from 8 to 10 to 8 during the five hours I ran the experiment.



In the last hour I could not get any shots under the tree canopy, but got them easily on the deck. In the real world I would simply have extended the slide pole to get above the canopy, but in this case I wanted to see how the unit would measure under the canopy.



Note the one large elevation deviation on a single tree shot. Although I had the position limits set for 0.05' H and 0.06' V, with a combined quality of 0.08', the system did not detect the bad shot under the canopy.



The results indicate to me that the Leica 530 is quite suitable for boundary and topographical work, but care must be taken near a canopy because degradation does occur (which is why I use a slide pole, and have a variety of offset routines).



Always be aware of the possibility of a bad shot from a variety of multipath sources, including trees, power poles, and building walls. I have detected five bad shots on my surveys in the past several years and every one of them was unexpected.

Ok Take the following facts:

Nominal Resistance = 360 Ohms
Tolerance = 5%
Maximum Permissible Resistance = 378 Ohms
Minimum Permissible Resistance = 342 Ohms

Now Assuming the resistor above is rated at 2 watts, what is the maximum continuous Voltage that can be placed across the resistor without causing it to overheat?

How do we find this?

If anyone can help, It wouldl be greatly appriciate it. Thank You
