Chapter 2, Problem 27P

When converting resistances connected in a formation to a Y formation as shown in Fig. P2.24. the resistance R 3 is obtained as

R 3 = R b R c R a + R b + R c (a) Suppose R 3 = 36 . R a = R , R b = 3 R , and R c = 100 + R , all measured in ohms. Substitute these values into equation (2.70) to obtain the following quadratic equation for R. R 2 + 40 R 1200 = 0

(b) Solve the quadratic equation for R by the methods of completing the square and the quadratic formula.
