If a second battery is connected in parallel with Battery 1 that has voltage V
2
= 14 V and R
2
= 0.3 Ω, determine the currents and the power dissipated.
Current I
1
is 3.34 ± 2%
A.
Current I
2
is 1.89 ± 2%
A.
The load current I
0
of Battery 2
is 5.23 ± 2%
A.
The power dissipated by Battery 2 is 70.3 ± 2%
W.
Explanation:
With another source in the circuit, we must find the new power dissipated by the load. To do so, we write KVL twice using mesh currents to obtain the values of currents I
1
and I
2
:
The current load is:
The power dissipated is:
