Circuit diagram with nodes a, b, c, d. Top branch from a to b: 16 ? resistor, then 2 V battery (series). Right branch from b down to c: 4 ? resistor, then 4 V battery (series) to c. Bottom branch from c to d: resistor R, and a 12 V battery in series with the branch to d. Left branch from d up to a: 6 V battery. Consider the circuit shown above. Determine the value of resistance R if the current in the circuit is 4 A. What is the potential at d if the potential at a is zero?

Step 1
To do this, we can use Ohm's Law, which states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage (V) applied across it and inversely proportional to the resistance (R) of the conductor. Mathematically, this can be expressed Show more…
