Step 1
Given R2 = 12 ohms and R3 = 12 ohms. Using the formula for resistors in parallel: 1/Req = 1/R2 + 1/R3 1/Req = 1/12 + 1/12 1/Req = 2/12 Req = 12/2 Req = 6 ohms Show more…

R1=1.0 ohm, R2=5.6 ohm and R3=4 ohm, the voltage of the battery is 10V. Find out the voltage drop passing through the resistor R2. The circuit is the same as that of question 1.

A battery with voltage $\mathrm{Vb}=12.0 \mathrm{~V} V_{\mathrm{b}}=12.0 \mathrm{~V}$ is connected to resistors $\mathrm{R} 1=8.00 \Omega, R_{1}=8.00 \Omega, \mathrm{R} 2=10.0 \Omega, R_{2}=10.0 \Omega$, and $\mathrm{R} 3=12.0 \Omega R_{3}=12.0 \Omega$ as shown in Figure 18-31. Calculate the total power provided by the battery and the power dissipated by each of the three resistors. Example $18-10$
