Question

Consider a circuit with two resistors in parallel; R1=10 and R2=5
A.)Determine the total resistance of the circuit B.)Calculate the total current flowing through thebattery C.)What are the current and voltage through eachresistor D.)Repeat the calculations for a seriesconfiguration Consider a circuit with two resistors in parallel; R1=10 and R2=5
A.)Determine the total resistance of the circuit B.)Calculate the total current flowing through thebattery C.)What are the current and voltage through eachresistor D.)Repeat the calculations for a seriesconfiguration

Explanation / Answer

(A). R1=10
      R2=5 Total resistance of the circuit R = ( R1*R2 ) /(R1+R2)                                                = 3.3333 ohm (B). Total current i = i1+i2                              = ( V/ R1) + (V/R2) Since V = voltage is same in both the resistors in parallelcombination In series combination : ----------------------- Total resistance in series combination R ' =R1+R2 current i = V / R '
