A resistor of $R \Omega$ is connected in series with parallel circuit consisting of two resistors of $8 \Omega$ and $12 \Omega$ respectively. The total power dissipated in the circuit is 70 W when applied voltage is 20 V. Calculate the value of $R$. $\quad$ [0.914 $\Omega$ ]
Basic Concepts
Voltage
A battery has a terminal voltage of $12.0 \mathrm{V}$ when no current flows. Its internal resistance is $2.0 \Omega .$ If a $1.0-\Omega$ resistor is connected across the battery terminals, what is the terminal voltage and what is the current through the $1.0-\Omega$ resistor?
An electric heater carries a current of 13.5 $\mathrm{A}$ . when operating at a voltage of $1.20 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{V}$ . What is the resistance of the heater?
