Circuit Problem:
Express each labelled voltage and current (e.g., vx, ix) in terms of the resistances and source currents and voltages (e.g., R0).
a resistor of 3 ohms and an unknown resistor are connected in parallel. the total resistance of the whole circuit is measured to be 2 ohms. what is the resistance of the unknown resistor (in ohm)?
An application of the parallel resistance formula to a series-parallel circuit gives the following equation for the resistance R1. Solve the equation for R1 in ohms to two significant digits.
150 = 3R1 + (150)(300) /150 + 300
