Question

6. An 24.0 , 14.0 , and 3.0 resistor are connected in parallel across a 12 V battery. (a) Determine the equivalent resistance for the circuit. _________ (b) Determine the current in the circuit. _________ A (c) Determine the current in each resistor. current in the 24.0 resistor ________ A current in the 14.0 resistor _________ A current in the 3.0 resistor _________ A (d) Determine the potential difference across each resistor. potential difference across the 24.0 resistor _________ V potential difference across the 14.0 resistor _________ V potential difference across the 3.0 resistor ________ V

Explanation / Answer

a)R,eq = 2.24 ohm

b) I = V / R = 5.357 Amp

c) I, 24 ohm----12/24 = 0.5 Amp

I, 14 ohm-----12 / 14 = 0.857 Amp

I, 3 ohm-------12/3 = 4 Amp

d) It will be same...12 V across each...
