Three resistors are connected in series across a battery. The value of each resistance and its maximum power rating are as follows: 4.2 Ohms and 27.8 W, 33.2 Ohms and 11.5 W, and 13.7 Ohms and 14.7 W. A)
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.
Three resistors are connected in series across a battery. The value of each resistance and its maximum power rating are as follows: 4.2 Ohms and 27.8 W, 33.2 Ohms and 11.5 W, and 13.7 Ohms and 14.7 W. A) what is the greatest voltage that the battery can have without one of the resistors burning up? B) How much power does the battery deliver to the circuit in (a)?
