Question

1. What is the equivalent resistance of the two combined resistors?

2. In this case when finding the total current flowing from the battery, you need to consider the overall, or equivalent, resistance of the circuit. Suppose the voltage source provides a potential difference (voltage difference) of 5.28 V. What is the total current flowing from the battery?
3. These two resistors are in series. First, stop and trace the current flowing from the battery through the complete circuit. Now, what is the current flowing through resistor R1?
4. What is the current flowing through resistor R2?

Explanation / Answer

1 when resistors are joined in series

the equivalent resistance is 11.2+27.2

= 38.4 ohm

2 current through total circuit is

I = V/R

= 5.28/38.4. = 0.1375 A

3 resistors are joined in series current through each resistor is same

through resistor 1 is 0.1375A

4 through resistor 2. Is 0-1375A
