Question

5.)Two resistors, 34.0 ohmsand 54.0 ohms, are connected inparallel. The current through the second resistor is 3.30 A.

(a) What is the current in the first resistor?
_______A (b) What is the total power supplied to the tworesistors?
_______W 5.)Two resistors, 34.0 ohmsand 54.0 ohms, are connected inparallel. The current through the second resistor is 3.30 A.

(a) What is the current in the first resistor?
_______A (b) What is the total power supplied to the tworesistors?
_______W

Explanation / Answer

a) V - i2R2 = 0 V = i2R2= (3.30 A*54 ohms) = 178.2V i1 = V/R1 = 178.2 V/34 ohms = 5.24 Amps b) P = i2R = (3.30 A)2*(54 ohms) + (5.24 A)2*(34 ohms) P = 1522.03765 ~ 1.52 x 103 W
