Question
For the circuit shown in the figure, find the current through and the potential difference across each resistor.
I will have to find the current through and the potential difference across each resistor. Can you please, please, pretty please explain the steps of finding current and potential difference. I am not sure if it I would need to solve in a different manner in other parts of the circuit or not (ie. for other resistors than the one I specified above)
Correct answers with good explanantions will get a lifesaver rating! Thank you for your time!
Explanation / Answer
The current through the 3 ohm resistor is the same as the currentthrough Req Req=3+1/(1/16+1/4+1/48) Req=6 V=RI 12=6*I I=2A therefore the current through the 3O Resistor is2A V=RI V=3O*2A=6V is the voltage across the 3Oresistor
