Question

In the previous question, what would happen if you were to reduce the resistance of the resistor labeled R? (Select all that apply.)

A. The voltage drop across the 16 Ohm resistor would decrease

B. The voltage drop across the 48 Ohm resistor would increase

C. The battery would put out more currentThe battery's voltage would increase

D. The battery would put out less current

E. There would be more current through the 3 Ohm resistor

F. The battery's voltage would decrease

G. The current through the 48 Ohm resistor would decrease

resistor current (A) potential difference (V) 3 R (11 ) 48 16

1) I1= I2+I3+I4

current through 3 ohm = current through 16 ohm +current through 48 ohm +current through R

2) 16 * I2 = 48 * I3 = 11 *I4

24V = 3 * I1 + 11*I4 =3* (I2+I3+I4)+ 11*I4 = I4* (33/16+33/48 +3+11)

I4 = 1.43

I2 = 0.983

I3 = 0.328

I1 = 2.741

V =IR

all are in parallel so V remain same
