Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Resistor Circuit Analysis**
A resistor circuit is displayed above. Your task is to calculate the voltage across the 30 ohm resistor.
The circuit consists of:
- A 48 V voltage source.
- Four resistors: 40 ohms, 120 ohms, 90 ohms, and 30 ohms.
**Circuit Description:**
- The 40 ohm and 120 ohm resistors are in series with each other.
- The combined series of 40 ohm and 120 ohm is in parallel with the 90 ohm resistor.
- The 30 ohm resistor is connected in series with the parallel combination.
**Objective:**
Calculate the voltage associated with the 30 ohm resistor using appropriate circuit analysis techniques such as Ohm's Law and the rules for series and parallel resistor combinations.
**Prompt:**
Enter the voltage value across the 30 ohm resistor as a number only (in volts).
