Task 3 (of 3)
Consider the circuit shown below.
R1
w
Vs
R2
ли
R3
12 ΚΩ
5 20
ww
R4
36 ΚΩ
Figure 3. Circuit with DC Power Supply and Two Unknown Resistors
ли
Suppose the voltage supplied by the power source, Vs, is 40V.
Determine the following:
(a) The resistance, R2, assuming the current through R2 is one half the current through R3-
R4 parallel circuit.
(b) Using your value computed for R2 in part (a), compute the resistance, R1, that will result
in a voltage drop of 20 V across the R3-R4 parallel circuit.
