Concept explainers
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:### Circuit Analysis
Consider the circuit diagram shown. We need to determine the current through each resistor given the following resistance and voltage values:
- \( R_1 = 25 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 30 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_3 = 15 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_4 = 25 \, \Omega \)
- \( E_1 = 24 \, V \)
- \( E_2 = 4 \, V \)
- \( E_3 = 60 \, V \)
#### Current Calculations
1. **Current through \( R_1 \) (\( I_1 \))**
- Magnitude: \( 0.889 \, A \)
- Direction: To the Right
2. **Current through \( R_2 \) (\( I_2 \))**
- Magnitude: \( 1.652 \, A \)
- Direction: Downward
3. **Current through \( R_3 \) (\( I_3 \))**
- Magnitude: Incorrect input, should be calculated.
- Direction: To the Right
4. **Current through \( R_4 \) (\( I_4 \))**
- Magnitude: \( 0.889 \, A \)
- Direction: Upward
#### Total Power Consumption
- The total power consumed by the circuit is \( P = 119.5 \, W \).
#### Circuit Diagram
- **Diagram Description**: The circuit contains four resistors \( (R_1, R_2, R_3, R_4) \) and three voltage sources \( (E_1, E_2, E_3) \). The configuration includes series and parallel connections with the specified directions of current flow.
This analysis allows us to understand current distribution and power consumption within complex circuits comprising multiple sources and resistors.
