Question

Resistors 01 Due in 5 hours, 53 minutes The figure shows three resistors. R_14.4 Ohm, R2 32.7 Ohm, and R = 10.6Ohm. What is the equivalent resistance of the combination of resistors R_2 and R_3? What is the equivalent resistance of the combination of all three resistors? 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 9.43 What is the total current flowing from the battery? What is the current flowing through resistor R_1?

Explanation / Answer

R2 and R3 are in parallel

R = R2R3 / (R2 + R3) = 32.7 * 10.6 / (32.7 + 10.6)

= 8 ohm

R and R1 are in series

R(equi) = R+R1 = 8 + 14.4 = 22.4 ohm

total current = V/R 9.43/22.4 = 0.42 A

current through R1 = current through the circuit = 0.42 A
