Question

Combinations of Resistors-01 Due in 6 hours, $4 minutes shows three resistors. R,-11.5 , Ra-30.3 , and R,-17.62. Ri R2 What is the equivalent resistance of the combination of resistors Ra and R Tries /10 What is the equivalent resistance of the combination of all three resistors? om Aneeer Tries 0/10 In this case when finding the total current flowing from the battery, you need to consider the overall, or equivalent, resistance of the circuit. Suppose the voltage source provides a potential diflerence (voitage aifterence) of 4.54 V. What is the total current fowing from the battery? Tries 0/10 What is the current flowing through resistor R? Ane Tries 010 This discussion is closed. Send Feedba

Explanation / Answer

R2 & R3 are in parallel

equivalane resistance of R2 and R3 = R23 = (R2*R3)/(R2+R3)

R23 = (30.3*17.6)/(30.3+17.6)

R23 = 11.13 ohm

-----------------------

R23 and R1 are in series

equivalent of three resistors = R1 + R23

Req = 11.5 + 11.13 = 22.63 ohm

---------------------

total current I = V/Req

I = 4.54/22.63 = 0.2 A

------------------------

I1 = I = 0.2 A
