Question
Please find the current through, and voltage across each resistor in the diagram given. Start by finding the equivalent resistance and total current.
R1=3 ohms
R2=7 ohms
R3=5 ohms
R4=6 ohms
R5=10 ohms
Can someone please show me the work of how to do this problem? I can't figure it out. 1,500 points for an answer by tonight!
Explanation / Answer
a)
equivalent resistance
R2 and R3 are in series
R23=R2+R3=12 ohms
R4 and R5 are in series
R45 =R4+R5 =16 ohms
R1 ,R23 and R45 are in parallel
1/Req =1/R1 +1/R23 +!1/R45 =1/3+1/12+1/16
Req=2.087 ohms
b)
