II. Problem Solving. Use your bond paper and place your final answer inside a box with appropriate units. Use up to
three decimal points. Write your answer clearly.
1. (6 pts) In the circuit shown below, determine Vx and the power absorbed by the 12 resistor.

2. (10 pts) As a design engineer, you are asked to design a lighting system consisting of a 70W power supply and two
light bulbs as shown below. You must select two different bulbs from the following three available bulbs. R1 =
80, cost = P27.00; R2 = 90, cost = P40.5; R3 = 100, cost = P33.75
The system should be designed for minimum cost such that lies within the range I = 1.2A +/ 5%.

3. (6 pts) A 20k/V voltmeter reads 10V full scale.

i) What series resistance is required to make the meter read 50V full scale?
ii) What power will the series resistor dissipate when the meter reads full scale?
