question 52
Explanation / Answer
Given V =24 V, R1 = 50 ohm, R2 = 25 ohm, R3 = 10 ohm
a) For the left circuit, All resistors are in series so Req =50+25+10=85 ohm
Current through circuit = 24/85 = 0.282 A
As in series current remains same and voltage divides.
So Voltage across R1 = 0.282*50 =14.1 V
Voltage across R2 = 0.282*25 = 7.05 V
Voltage across R3 = 0.282*10 = 2.82 V
b) For the right circuit, All resistors are in parallel so Req =6.25 ohm
Current through circuit = 24/6.25 = 3.84 A
As in parallel voltage remains same and current divides.
So current across R1 = 24/50 = 0.48 A
current across R2 = 24/25 = 0.96 A
current across R3 =24/10= 2.4 A
