A DC resistive circuit includes a 5.5 mA current source, Is, which is connected to 2 resistors in parallel: R1 which is 7 kΩ and R2 which has 1.75 times more conductance than R1. There is a closed switch before R2 in series with only this resistor. The negative terminal of the current source is at the ground. - Firstly if you can draw the circuit diagram for the above-described circuit being sure to label all circuit elements, current directions, and voltage polarities of each element. - The switch is now open. Redraw the circuit diagram with a voltmeter which measures the voltage across the resistor R1. Be sure to label all circuit elements, current directions, and voltage polarities of each element. Indicate the value displayed by the voltmeter.

Question

A DC resistive circuit includes a 5.5 mA current source, Is, which is connected to 2
resistors in parallel: R1 which is 7 kΩ and R2 which has 1.75 times more conductance
than R1. There is a closed switch before R2 in series with only this resistor. The
negative terminal of the current source is at the ground.
- Firstly if you can draw the circuit diagram for the above-described circuit being sure to label all
circuit elements, current directions, and voltage polarities of each element.
- The switch is now open. Redraw the circuit diagram with a voltmeter which
measures the voltage across the resistor R1. Be sure to label all circuit elements,
current directions, and voltage polarities of each element. Indicate the value
displayed by the voltmeter.
