The battery has a voltage of v 240 v, and the resistors have values of R 50.0 n, R, 25 0 n, and R 100 n (a) For the circuit on the left, determine the current through and the voltage across each resistor. (b) Repeat part (a) for the circuit on the right (a) 53. ssm The drawing shows a circuit that contains a battery, two resistons. and a switch. What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit when the switch is (a) open and (b) closed? What is the total power delivered to the resistors when the switch is (c) open and (d) closed?
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
