When a pair of identical resistors (say 4 ohm each) are connected in SERIES to a 12 V car battery, CALCULATE for both resistors:
(a) voltage across each, (b) power dissipated in each, (c) current through each? Do any of your answers change if the resistors are different from each other.
Draw the circuit diagram and determine the equivalent resistance of 3 resistors rated as R1 = 5 Ohms, R2 = 30 Ohms and R3 = 60 Ohms when assembled in (a) series, (b) parallel, (c) series-parallel and (d) parallel-series connection.
A resistor is dissipating 119milliwatts [mW] of power. The voltage across the resistor is 26 volts [V].
(a) What is the value of the resistance? Express your answer in units of ohms[Ω]using an appropriate SI prefix such that there are only one, two, or three digits shown to the left of the decimal.
(b) What is the current through the resistor? Express your answer in units of amperes [A] using an appropriate SI prefix such that there are only one, two, or three digits shown to the left of the decimal.
