Question

1) In the circuit below both meters are idealized, the battery has no appreciable internal resistance, and the ammeter reads 1.39 A. (Let R1 = 52.0 ?, R2 = 29.0 ?, and R3 = R4 = 19 ?.). What does the voltmeter read? What is the emf (i.e., the voltage) of the battery?

(Hint: Start with the parallel combination. There are six steps to solve the entire problem.)

2) In the circuit shown in the following figure, the voltage across the R1 = 7.00-? resistor is 21.0 V. What are the emf of the battery and the current through the 6.00-? resistor? (Let R2 = 1.00 ?.)

Explanation / Answer

part 1)

voltage at R2 I*R2 = 1.39 * 29 = 40.31 V

R3 , R4 in parallel with R2 so voltage drop remain same

I = at R3 = V/R3 = 40.31/19 = 2.12

I at R4 + 10 ohm combination = 40.31/29 = 1.39 A

total current = 1.39 + 2.12 + 1.39 = 4.9 A

it will be same for R1

V = IR1 = 4.9 * 52 = 254.8 ohm

req of R2 , R3 and R4

1/R' = 1/29 + 1/19 + 1/29

R' = 8.224

Req = R1 + R' + 35 = 95.224 ohm

emf of battery = I*Req = 95.224 * 4.9 = 466.6 V

part 2 )

current in R1 = 21/7 = 3 A

it will be same for R2 because R1 and R2 in series ,

voltage drop at R2 = 3 * 1 = 3 V

total voltage = 24 V

it will be same for 6 V ( in parallel )

current in 6A = 24/6 = 4 A

total emf of battery = 24 V

part 3 )

on right side first R1 and R2 in series = R= R1 + R2 = 75 ohm

now R in parallel with R2 = 1/R' = 1/75 + 1/25 = 18.75 ohm

now R' in series with R1 = R" = 18.75 + 50 = 68.75

R" in parallel with R2 = 1/R"' = 1/68.75 + 1/25

R"' = 18.33

R"' in seires with R1 = Req = 18.33 + 50 = 68.33 ohm
