Question

1. Ohm’s law

Ø Find the voltage of a circuit that has a current of 2.3 amps and a 20 ohm resistor.

2. Resistors

Ø You are looking at a circuit and you see (two) 100 ohm resistors in series with (4) 200 ohm resistors. What is the total resistance of this circuit?

3. Build circuit and find the Voltage

Ø You have (3) 300 ohm and resistors (4) 400 ohm resistors create a circuit with 150 ohm’s total resistance; also once constructed the circuit it will have 50 amps What is the voltage of the circuit?

4. Exploring circuits

Ø What happens to current when resistors are put into parallel?

Explanation / Answer

1.

i = current = 2.3 a

R = resistance = 20 ohm

Voltage using ohm's law is given as

V = i R = 2.3 x 20 = 46 volts

2.

R1 = 100 ohm

R2 = 200 ohm

equivalent resistance in series is given as

R = 2 R1 + 4 R2 = 2 (100) + 4(200) = 1000 ohm
