Explanation / Answer

1a)series resistance = R1 + R2 = 75 + 200 = 275 ohm

for V = 6 V;

b)Voltage across series resistance = 6 V

and current = I = V/R = 6/275 = 0.0218 A

c)Voltage across R1 = I*R1 = 0.022 * 75 = 1.635 V

d) Voltage across R2 = I*R2 = 4.36 V

e) sum of voltage across R1 and R2 = 1.635 + 4.36 = 5.995 V

f)current through R1 and R2 is same = I = 0.0218 A

g) current throught R2 = I = 0.0218 A

2)a)R1 and R2 parallel ressistance = R = R1*R2/(R1+R2) = 54.54 ohm

b) Voltage = 6V
current = V/R = 6/54.54 = 0.11 A

c) Voltage across R2 = 6V

d) voltage across R1 = 6 V

voltage across R1 = R2

e)current across R1 = I1 = R2*I/(R1+R2) = 0.08 A

f) current through R2 = I2 = R1*I/(R1+R2)   = 0.03A

g) sum of currents = I1 + I2 = 0.08 + 0.03 = 0.11 A
