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.

(b)

To determine

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 .

Because you are taking physics, your friend asks you to explain the detection of gravity waves that was made by LIGO in early 2016. (See the section that discusses LIGO.) To do this, you first explain about Einstein's notion of large masses, like those of stars, causing a curvature of spacetime. (See the section on general relativity.) To demonstrate, you put a bowling ball on your bed, so that it sinks downward and creates a deep depression in the mattress. Your sheet has a checked pattern that provides a nice coordinate system, as shown in the figure below. This is an example of a large mass (the bowling ball) creating a curvature of a flat, two-dimensional surface (the mattress) into a third dimension. (Spacetime is four dimensional, so its curvature is not easily visualized.) Then, you are going to amaze your friend by projecting a marble horizontally along a section of the sheet surface that is curved downward by the bowling ball so that the marble follows a circular path, as…
