Section B:

1. A DC source of 50V is supplying a 50Ω resistive load. Find the power delivered to the
load (PL), the power loss in the rheostat (PR), the total power supplied by the source
(PT), and the efficiency (η), if the rheostat is set at:

(i) 0Ω
(ii) 10Ω
(iii) 100Ω

2. A DC source of 100V is supplying a 100Ω resistive load through a switch. Find the
power supplied to the load (PL), the power loss in the switch (PS), and the total power
supplied by the source (PT), if the switch is:

(i) closed
(ii) Open.
