Given the circuit diagram below and assuming that the emf (ε=12V) Find: (a) the total resistance (b) the total current in the circuit (c) the current in each resistor (d) the potential difference across each resistor (e) the power dissipated by each resistor (f) the power dissipated by the entire circuit
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.
Given the circuit diagram below and assuming that the emf (ε=12V)
