Problem 23.26 Consider the circuit shown in (Figure 1). Suppose that 8-10 y |Figure 1 of1 5.0 5.0 b 10 5.0Explanation / Answer
Eq Resistance of C & D, Rcd = Rc + Rd = 5 + 5 = 10 ohm
Eq Resistance of B & Rcd, Rbcd = 10 * 10 / (10 + 10) = 5 ohm
Eq Resistance of circut, Req = Ra + Rbcd = 5 + 5 = 10 ohm
V = i * Req
i = 10/10 = 1 Amp
1.)
Current through the resistor a = 1 Amp
Potential difference across resistor a = 1 * 5 = 5V
2.)
Current through the resistor b = 0.5 Amp
Potential difference across resistor b = 0.5 * 10 = 5V
3.)
Current through the resistor c = 0.5 Amp
Potential difference across resistor c = 0.5 * 5 = 2.5V
4.)
Current through the resistor d = 0.5 Amp
Potential difference across resistor d = 0.5 * 5 = 2.5V
