Question

Consider the circuit shown in the diagram below. The battery has a voltage V = 12.0 V and the resistors have the following values. R1 = 4.29 ?; R2 = 8.58 ?; R3 = 21.45 ?; R4 = 12.87 ? How much current flows through each of the four resistors? I1 = 1.42 A I2 = What is the total current delivered by the battery? What is the voltage across R1? What are the voltages across each of the three parallel resistors? A I3 = A I4 = A

Step 1

We can do this using the formula for resistors in parallel: $$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} + \frac{1}{R_4}$$ Plugging in the given values: $$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{8.58} + \frac{1}{21.45} + \frac{1}{12.87}$$ Solving for Show more…
