The 5.00 V battery in figure 1 is removed from the circuit and replaced by a 15.00 V battery with its negative terminal next to point B. The rest of the circuit is as shown in the figure. (A) find the current in the upper branch. (B) find the current in the middle branch. (C) find the current in the lower branch. (D) find the potential difference Vab of point a relative to point b.
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.
