Answer to Problem 54P

The equivalent resistance between point A and B is 3.0 Ω.

Explanation of Solution

The sum of individual resistance connected in series and reciprocal of resistance connected in parallel will give the equivalent resistance.

From the given circuit, consider the resistor 2.0 Ω as R1, top right resistor 1.0 Ω as R2, bottom right resistor 1.0 Ω as R3, resistor 3.0 Ω as R4, resistor 6.0 Ω as R5, inner left resistor 4.0 Ω as R6, and inner right resistor 4.0 Ω as R7.

The resistor R6 and R7 are in parallel then the equivalent resistance is,

1R'=1R6+1R7R'=(1R6+1R7)1

The resistors R2 and R3 are in series then the equivalent resistance is,

R''=R2+R3

This equivalent resistance is in parallel with the R' equivalent resistance then the total equivalent resistance is,

1R'''=1R''+1R'R'''=11R''+1R'

This resistor is in series with the resistor R1 and R4 then the equivalent resistance is,

R''''=R1+R'''+R4

This resistance is in parallel with the resistor R5 then the final equivalent resistance is,

1Req=1R5+1R''''Req=11R5+1R''''

Substitute the values of R' , R'' , R''' and R'''' in the above equation.

Req=11R5+1R1+11R2+R3+1(1R6+1R7)1+R4

Conclusion:

Substitute 2.0 Ω for R1, 1.0 Ω for R2, 1.0 Ω for R3, 3.0 Ω for R4, 6.0 Ω for R5, 4.0 Ω for R6, and 4.0 Ω for R7 in the above equation.

Req=116.0 Ω+12.0 Ω+111.0 Ω+1.0 Ω+1(14.0 Ω+14.0 Ω)1+3.0 Ω=3.0 Ω

Therefore, the equivalent resistance between point A and B is 3.0 Ω.

Find the potential difference across each 4.0 Ω resistor.

Answer to Problem 54P

The potential difference across each 4.0 Ω resistor is 2.0 V.

Explanation of Solution

The two 4.0 Ω resistors are parallel and series with the two 1.0 Ω resistors. The equivalent resistance of two 4.0 Ω resistor is 2.0 Ω. The equivalent resistance of two 1.0 Ω resistor is 2.0 Ω. Therefore, the equivalent resistance of four resistor is 1.0 Ω.

This resistance is series with the 2.0 Ω resistor and 3.0 Ω resistor so their equivalent resistance is 6.0 Ω.  This resistance is parallel with the resistor 6.0 Ω so then the total equivalent resistance is 3.0 Ω .

The current through all the resistor is 12 V3.0 Ω=4.0 A . This current splits equally between the equivalent resistor 6.0 Ω  and actual resistor 6.0 Ω.

Thus, 2.0 A current flows thought the 2.0 Ω and 3.0 Ω resistor and through equivalent resistance 1.0 Ω.

Then the potential difference across the 1.0 Ω equivalent resistance is (2.0 A)(1.0 Ω)=2.0 V .

Conclusion:

Therefore, the potential difference across each 4.0 Ω resistor is 2.0 V

(c)

Answer to Problem 54P

The current through the resistor of resistance 3.0 Ω is 2.0A .

Explanation of Solution

From the discussion in part b, the current through the resistor 3.0 Ω is 2.0A.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the current through the resistor of resistance 3.0 Ω is 2.0A .
