1. Calculate the current through each Resistance R1 to R6
when its correspondent switch is closed (e.g. the current
through R1 when the switch SW1 is closed, the current
through R2 when the switch SW2 is closed, etc.)
2. If the value of the Fuse F1 is 1 Amperes, which different
combinations of switches can you close together to ensure
that will be the maximum current possible but the Fuse F1
will not blow apart? - Justify your answer with your
calculations.
3. If the value of the Fuse F1 is 2 Amperes, which different
combinations of switches can you close together to ensure
that will be the maximum current possible but the Fuse F1
will not blow apart? - Justify your answer with your
calculations.
