Question

Four resistors are connected to a battery as shown in the figure below.

http://www.webassign.net/serpse8/28-p-016.gif

(a) Determine the potential difference across each resistor in terms of . (Use the following as necessary: for .)

(whats answers?)
?V1 = ?
?V2 = ?
?V3 = ?
?V4 = ?

(b) Determine the current in each resistor in terms of I.

(whats answers?)
I1 = ?
I2 = ?
I3 = ?
I4 = ?

(d) In the limit that R3 ? , what are the new values of the current in each resistor in terms of I, the original current in the battery?

(whats answers?)
I1 = ?
I2 = ?
I3 = ?
I4 = ?

Explanation / Answer

V1 = /3
V2 = 2/9
V3 = 4/9
V4 = 2/3 ........................ Ans


I1 = I
I2 = I/3
I3 = I/3
I4 = 2I/3 ............................... Ans

I1 = I
I2 = 0
I3 = 0
I4 = I   ............................... Ans

Here asuuming R3 tends to infinity.
