Question

I figured out 7, but I was unable to figure out 8. Thanks!

In the section of circuit below R,-4 473 Ohn. R2-0 940 Ohn. and the voltage difference yrb-2 500 V The current310 A Find the value of Rp. H3 Hint: The total resistaace betwee bbcalulate by hrs law sve bthunt ad volue itliercesarkonzI (Does thst help? Sunce Ri ad R2 are ive, I clan R3can be caleulated now) s. [1pt] What the cutrent though R Answer- Not yet correct, tries 46 Submit A Ilint: If only Iknew' the voltage across R2. I could findl the current through it via Ohm's law. rigat? ln.. .can I first figure out the voltage drop across RI? (l thirk so, since I know che current throngh in) And if I know thsr, AND the toeal rolrage difference from a no b, daessr tir help me quickly fizure out the voltaze drop across R2...

Explanation / Answer

7.

V1 = Voltage across the resistor R1 = i R1 = 0.510 x 4.473 = 2.3 Volts

Since R2 and R3 are in parallel , they have same Voltage across them

V2 = Voltage across the resistor R2 = V3 = Voltage across resistor R3 = (Va - Vb) - V1 = 2.5 - 2.3 = 0.2 Volts

current in R2 = i2 = V2/R2 = 0.2 /0.94 = 0.213 A

we know that

i = i2 + i3

0.51 = 0.213 + i3

i3 = 0.297 A

since

i3 = V3/R3

0.297 = 0.2/R3

R3 = 0.67 ohm

8)

current in R2 = i2 = V2/R2 = 0.2 /0.94 = 0.213 A
