Hi Susan! That is naturally 240 Volt. I guess my trouble is not reading your questions as you intend them to be read. I read that question as you are asking “what is the Individual Voltage Drop across R1 and in addition what is the Individual Voltage Drop across R2”.
The reason I read it that way is: because you are asking about the Reading(s) plural. If that question was worded, what is the voltage drop reading across R1 and R2? The answer would be a No Brainer.
Thanks for your reply. The english language is sometimes a struggle for me.
Take Good Care. I must say again, I love the course.
Good Morning Sam and Susan. Would you look into the Question 8 on my Second Exam for Unit 6 where it is marked Incorrect. If I did answer the Question correctly would you be kind enough to change my Exam Score to 100%. If it is incorrect I am OK with the 91.7.
At your leisure please let me know.
Sincerely, (the fuss bottom), Jim
My apologies, Disregard the Last sentence in the last Post. That Panel does have a Main Breaker!!! It is just after 4 AM and I probably should be sleeping.
Forgive me Sam for not getting back and thanking you for your reply. I did find what I was missing. You are so correct.
I am just now getting back to taking another lesson.
In taking the Unit 6 Exam I have an issue with Question 8. On my first attempt I answered Question 8 using the choice of “The main breaker” and it was Checked as Correct. On my Second time taking the Exam I answered Question 8 using the Same Choice “The main beaker” and it was Checked Incorrect” leaving me puzzled.
I don’t mean to be a Pain but I must say, to some, the answer to this question will depend entirely on what type of Circuit Breaker Panel you are referring to. Some systems have a Main Breaker at the Circuit Breaker Panel inside a building as well as one at the Meter on the exterior of the building. L1 and L2 are attached to the Main Breaker at the Circuit Breaker Panel of which in turn is attached to the L1 and L2 Buss Bars to feed the Branch Circuit Breakers. Some of the Older Systems have only a Meter at the Exterior of the Building and the Main Breaker is inside with the Circuit Breakers Panel of which has the individual Branch Circuit Breakers. Then there are other systems that have the Meter, Main Breaker and a Subsection with all of the Branch Circuit Breakers together in One Panel at the Exterior of the Building.
These facts make the correct answer to Question 8 puzzling to those who may be familiar with different types of Electrical System.
Just an observation that was a bit confusing for me. Question 8 may be crystal clear to everyone else but I sometimes have a tendency to over think some things.
For those Students that will come behind me, pay attention to the diagram of the Circuit Breaker Panel they are referring to in the course material. They show a Circuit Breaker Panel that does Not have a Main Breaker at that Panel. I missed that part.
