Answer

$ {V_{T}} $ $=$ $ 7 $ $ volts $ $ {P_{L}} $ $=$ $ 7 $ $ mWatts $ $ e $ = $0.5833$ or $58.33$ $percent$

Work Step by Step

To find the value of the series resistance: $ {R_{T}} $ $=$ $ {R_{s}} $ + $ {R_{L}} $ $ {R_{T}} $ $=$ $ 5 $ $komhs$ + $ 7 $ $komhs$ $ {R_{T}} $ $=$ $ 12 $ $komhs$ Using $ {R_{T}} $ and $ {V_{s}} $, we can now determine the value of $ {I_{T}} $ using Ohms' law $ {I_{T}} $ $=$ $\frac{V_{s}}{R_{T}}$ $ {I_{T}} $ $=$ $\frac{12}{12\times10^{3}}$ $ {I_{T}} $ $=$ $ 1 $ $ mA $ To find $ {V_{T}} $, we need to find $ {V_{L}} $ because they are equal. $ {V_{T}} $ $=$ $ {V_{L}} $ $=$ $ {I_{T}\times{R_{L}}}$ $ {V_{T}} $ $=$ $ 1\times10^{-3}\times{7\times10^{3}}$ $ {V_{T}} $ $=$ $ 7 $ $ volts $ To find the power absorbed by the load: $ {P_{L}} $ $=$ $ {V_{L}\times{I_{T}}}$ $ {P_{L}} $ $=$ $7\times1\times10^{-3}$ $ {P_{L}} $ $=$ $ 7 $ $ mWatts $ To find the total power of the circuit: $ {P_{T}} $ $=$ $ {V_{s}\times{I_{T}}}$ $ {P_{T}} $ $=$ $12\times1\times10^{-3}$ $ {P_{T}} $ $=$ $ 12 $ $ mWatts $ To find the efficiency of the circuit: $ e $ $=$ $\frac{P_{L}}{P_{T}}$ $ e $ $=$ $\frac{7\times10^{-3}}{12\times10^{-3}}$ $ e $ = $0.5833$ or $58.33$ $percent$
