Verified Solution
a. VR=\frac{V_{NL}-V_{FL}}{V_{FL}}\times 100\%\\[0.5cm] 2\% =\frac{60V-V_{FL}}{V_{FL}} \times 100\%\\[0.5cm] \frac{2\%}{100\%}=\frac{60V-V_{FL}}{V_{FL}}\\[0.5cm] 0.02V_{FL}=60V-V_{FL}\\[0.5cm] 1.02V_{FL}=60V\\[0.5cm] V_{FL}=\frac{60V}{1.02}=58.82V
b. I_{FL}=10A
R_{int}=\frac{\Delta V_L}{\Delta I_L}=\frac{60V-58.82V}{10A-0A}=\frac{1.18V}{10A}\cong 0.12\Omega
c. See Fig. 5.75.
