Question

The two resistors in the circuit to the right are connected ins series with an ideal battery and with an ideal battery and with one another. Build an expression for the total resistance of these two resistors. In building this expression defend your claims with evidence from lab, including the circuit rules we built last week. The two resistors in the circuit to the right are connected in parallel with an ideal battery and with one another. Build an expression for the total resistance of these two resistors. In building this expression defend your claims with evidence from lab, including the circuit rules we built last week. hopefully it comes as no surprise that we can also define the resistance of an ohmic device by material parameters just as we did with Capacitors in lab 2. The resistance R of a device with resistivity p cross sectional area A, and length l/A. How does this expression support your answers to the above questions?

Explanation / Answer

(1)current in both resistors is same in series. let the current=i

v1= potential difference acrss R1 and v2 =potential difference acros R2

v1=i R1

V2= R2

total voltage= V

v1+v2= V

iR1 + iR2= V ------------------(1)

let Rt= total resistance is series, V= i Rt. plugin this value in equation (1)

iR1+iR2= iRt

i cancels on both sides,

Rt= R1 + R2
