Question
The figure is shown a circuit consisting of a resistor Rị in series with two resistors
R2 and R3 in parallel. The circuit is connected across a constant 100 V supply.
When switch S is open, the ammeter A, reads 8 amperes. When switch S is closed
A1 reads 10 amperes and A2 reads 4 A. determine (a) ohms of
resistors R1, R2 and R3. (b) Voltage across R,& R2 when S is open. (c) Voltage
across R1 & R2 when S is closed.
