Question

As shown in the figure, a circuit consists of an emf source with V = 20 V and six resistors. Resistors R1 = 1 and R2 = 19 are connected in series. Resistors R3 = 7 and R4 = 7 are connected in parallel and are in series with R1and R2. Resistors R5 = 5 and R6 = 5 are connected in parallel and are also in series with R1 and R2.

1. what is the potential drop accross each resistor

2. how much current is passing through each resistor

As shown in the figure, a circuit consists of an emf source with V = 20 V and six resistors. Resistors R1 = 1 ohm and R2 = 19 ohm are connected in series. Resistors R3 = 7 ohm and R4 = 7 ohm are connected in parallel and are in series with R1and R2. Resistors R5 = 5 ohm and R6 = 5 ohm are connected in parallel and are also in series with R1 and R2. 1. what is the potential drop accross each resistor 2. how much current is passing through each resistor

Explanation / Answer

1) the total resistance in the circuit is R = 26 ohm. => the current is i = 20/ 26 = 0.76923 A 2) now the voltage drop across each resistor is V1 = 0.769230 V V2 = 14.6153 V V3 = V4 = 2.6923 V V5 = V6 = 1.9230 V
