i found my answer …yes i would have 240 vac reading because of the potential difference between L1 and L2 …

[Boyd]

question for # XX on midterm ….suppose L1 was closed (hot) wrt to neutral reading 120 vac and you measured the element with both wires L1 and L2 …would you have 240 vac measurement ?

[Boyd]

just to make sure ….if you have a circuit with two loads R1 and R2 with 120 vac …R2 is by-passed… the total sum of the load would be R1= 120 ….. ?

[Boyd]

also ..answer to # 3 ..since one load is being by-passed ..the sum of the load R1 is 240

[Boyd]

the voltage drop would be R1- 120 and R2- 120

[Boyd]

1) 240
2) the switch looks to be a shunt …therefore one of the loads is by-passed leaving only one load
3) R1= 120
4) R2= 0 ( shunt cancels out load )
5) Parallel
6) two
7) 240

wow …this is very confusing ….

am i permitted to ask a question pertaining to my own personal washing machine, since i am in the course and it’s far from my knowledge as of now ? …my machine will not drain but the lid switch shows continuity ..when it gets to the spin cycle the motor just hums ..is that possible a capacitor or bad motor …how could i check that with just a simple analog meter ?

I am a little confused over how you came to 18.75 …come you explain that formula again ?
