Step 1
Here $\mathcal{E}_1 = 12.0 \text{ V}$, $\mathcal{E}_2 = 8.77 \text{ V}$ and $R_1 = 4.33 \Omega$, $R_2 = 5.04 \Omega$, and $R_3 = 2.08 \Omega$. $V_a - V_b = $ $R_3$ $R_1$ Show more…

Due to a weak connection, there is a break in the circuit (shown below) between points a and b. If R1 = 4.23 ̐̑, R2 = 2.29 ̐̑, and R3 = 14.7 ̐̑, and the two batteries Ɛ1 and Ɛ2 have voltages of 22.0 V and 6.50 V respectively, find the potential difference Vab. Be sure to include the sign of the potential difference: Vab = Vb - Va.

Part A Find the current in each resistor in the figure (Figure 1). Suppose the four resistors in this circuit have the values R1 = 3.8 ̐, R2 = 7.0 ̐, R3 = 2.7 ̐, and R4 = 8.9 ̐, and that the emf of the batteries are ̑1 = 12 V and ̑2 = 12 V. Express your answers using two significant figures separated by commas. Part B Is the potential at point A greater than, less than, or equal to the potential at point B? greater than less than

Figure $27-27$ shows a circuit of four resistors that are connected to a larger circuit. The graph below the circuit shows the electric potential $V(x)$ as a function of position $x$ along the lower branch of the circuit, through resistor 4 ; the potential $V_{A}$ is 12.0 $\mathrm{V}$ . The graph above the circuit shows the electric potential $V(x)$ versus position $x$ along the upper branch of the circuit, through resistors $1,2,$ and $3 ;$ the potential differences are $\Delta V_{B}=2.00 \mathrm{V}$ and $\Delta V_{C}=5.00 \mathrm{V} .$ Resistor 3 has a resistance of 200$\Omega .$ What is the resistance of (a) resistor 1 and (b) resistor 2?
