Consider the combination of resistors shown in the figure below. (a) Find the equivalent resistance between point a and b. (b) If a voltage of 44.7 V is applied between points a and b, find the current in the 8 ohm resistor. Please Help!!! Thank You in Advance!Explanation / Answer
a) 6 and 12 are in parallel combination, their effective resistance will be= 12/3 = 4
Equivalent resistance of 4 and 8= 8/3 = 2.667
So total resistance between a and b = 4 + 2.667+5 = 11.667 apprx
b) current through circuit = 44.7/11.667=3.83 A apprx
Current through 8= 3.83 x 4/(12)==1.277 A apprx
