Theequivalent resistance of the circuit. Also, the current in the circuit.
Answer to Problem 2PP
The equivalent resistance in the circuit is
The current through the circuit is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Three resistors of value
Formula used:
For a set of resistors
For the resistance of the circuit and supply voltage, the current can be calculated using the Ohm’s law as,
Calculation:
Consider the circuit shown in Figure 1. Here, the generator is supplying a voltage of 75 V and is loaded with three resistances in series,
Figure 1
The equivalent resistance can be calculated using (1) as,
Now, the current flowing through the circuit can be calculated by using the relation in (2), as
Conclusion:
The equivalent resistance is
