A 680 Ω load resistor, RL, is connected across a constant current source of 1.2 A. The internal source resistance, RS, is 12 kΩ. The load current, RL, is
Correct Answer: Option D — 1.14 A
Detailed Academic Explanation:
The load current is determined by analyzing the circuit and applying Ohm's law and the voltage-divider principle. Given: Load resistance, R L = 680 Ω Internal source resistance, R S = 12 kΩ = 12,000 Ω Constant current source, I S = 1.2 A Step 1: Determine the total voltage of the circuit The total voltage generated by the current source is: V total = I S × R S = 1.2 A × 12,000 Ω = 14,400 V Step 2: Calculate the equivalent resistance The load resistor and internal source resistance form a voltage divider. The voltage across R L is calculated as: V L = V total × (R L / (R L + R S )) V L = 14,400 × (680 / (680 + 12,000)) V L = 14,400 × (680 / 12,680) = 774 V Step 3: Find the load current The load current is: I L = V L / R L = 774 / 680 = 1.14 A
