Transcribed Image Text:**Circuit Analysis Problem**
**Diagram:**
The diagram shows a simple series circuit with a DC voltage source and three resistors. The components are connected in a closed loop, allowing current to flow.
- **Components:**
- Voltage Source \(E_1\)
- Resistor \(R_1\)
- Resistor \(R_2\)
- Resistor \(R_3\)
**Given:**
- \(E_1 = 240 \, \text{Vdc}\)
- \(R_1 = 100 \, \Omega\)
- \(R_2 = 250 \, \Omega\)
- \(R_3 = 1 \, \text{k}\Omega\)
**Find:**
- \(R_{\text{Total}}\) : \_\_\_\_
- \(I_{\text{Total}}\) : \_\_\_\_
- \(V_{R_1}\) : \_\_\_\_
- \(V_{R_2}\) : \_\_\_\_
- \(V_{R_3}\) : \_\_\_\_
- \(P_{\text{Total}}\) : \_\_\_\_
**Instructions:**
1. **Calculate the Total Resistance (\(R_{\text{Total}}\)):**
- Determine the sum of all resistors in the series.
2. **Calculate the Total Current (\(I_{\text{Total}}\)):**
- Use Ohm’s Law: \(I = \frac{V}{R}\)
3. **Calculate the Voltage across each Resistor (\(V_{R_1}, V_{R_2}, V_{R_3}\)):**
- Use Ohm’s Law for each resistor: \(V = I \times R\)
4. **Calculate the Total Power (\(P_{\text{Total}}\)):**
- Use the power formula: \(P = V \times I\)
This exercise will help in understanding the application of Ohm's Law and the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in a series circuit.
