Question

Consider the following.

(Take R₁ = 10.7 Ω, R₂ = 9.1 Ω, and R₃ = 4.2 Ω.)

(a) Find the equivalent resistance between points a and b in the figure below.

(b) Find the potential difference V_ab that will produce a current of 1.0 A in the 2.0 Ω resistor.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Equivalent Resistance of resistors arranged in series is given by

$R_{e q} = R_{1} + R_{2}$

Equivalent resistance when resistance when resistors are arranged in parallel,

$\frac{1}{R_{e q}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}} + . . . . . . . .$

Now given in the question,

$R_{1} = 10.7 Ω R_{2} = 9.1 Ω R_{3} = 4.2 Ω$
