For the circuit shown in the figure below this problem:
(a) Determine the equivalent resistance for the complete circuit.
(b) What is the current across the 2.0Ω resistor?
(c) What is the current across the 3.0Ω resistor?
**Circuit Description:**
The given circuit includes a combination of resistors connected to a 12 V battery. Here's a detailed explanation of the arrangement:
1. A 2.0Ω resistor is placed at the top right in series with the battery.
2. A 1.0Ω resistor connects to the other side of the battery in series.
3. There is a set of three resistors: 3.0Ω, 4.0Ω, and 5.0Ω, connected in various configurations:
- The 3.0Ω and 4.0Ω resistors are in series.
- The combination of the above (3.0Ω and 4.0Ω) is in parallel with the 5.0Ω resistor.
4. The parallel combination connects between the 2.0Ω and 1.0Ω resistors, completing the circuit loop.
To solve each part:
- Calculate equivalent resistances for series and parallel combinations.
- Use Ohm's Law (V = IR) to find current across specified resistors based on the total resistance and voltage provided.
