Question

T

The drawing shows three different resistors in two different circuits. The battery has a voltage of V = 26 V, and the resistors have resistances of R1 = 50.0 ?, R2 = 25.0 ? and R3 = 10.0 ?. Determine the current through and the voltage across each resistor.

The drawing shows three different resistors in two different circuits. The battery has a voltage of V = 26 V, and the resistors have resistances of R1 = 50.0 ?, R2 = 25.0 ? and R3 = 10.0 ?. Determine the current through and the voltage across each resistor.

Explanation / Answer

a)I1=I2=I3=0.305A(as in series current is constant)

    V1=15.29V

     V2=7.65V

      V3=3.05V



B)V1=V2=V3=26V(AS in parallel voltage is constant)

    I1=0.52A

    12=1.04A

     I3=2.60A
