Consider the circuit given in the figure. If the current crossing the resistance R1 is 2A, Calculate, a) Resistance of the R1 b) Current in 4 ohm c) Power dissipated in the R1
Added by Amber C.
Step 1
In this case, we know that the current (I) through R1 is 2A and the voltage (V) across R1 is 10V (since it is directly connected to the battery). So, the resistance of R1 can be calculated as follows: R1 = V/I = 10V/2A = 5 ohms Show more…
