- What is the voltage across the 50 Ohm and 5 Ohm resistors? Using the loop hole equation, what is the voltage across the R1? What is R1?arrow_forwardIn the figure the current in resistance 6 is i6 = 1.50 A and the resistances are R1 = R2 = R3 = 1.53 Ω, R4 = 17.1 Ω, R5 = 8.80 Ω, and R6 = 3.81 Ω. What is the emf of the ideal battery?arrow_forwardThe resistors are connected in series across a 120-V source. The first resistor is 50 Q, the current through the second resistor is 0.5 A, and the voltage drop across the third resistor is 50 V. What are the resistances of the first and third resistors ?arrow_forward
- What happens to total circuit current when aditional resistance is added in parallel? Current increases. Current remains the same. Current decreases. Current equalizes.arrow_forwardFor given value of the circuit, Vsupply 2002, R6-400 and R7=12002? • What is the voltage drop across R7? 1. 36V b) 48V c) 64V d) 72V 48 Volts 36 Volts 72 Volts = 64 Volts 120 V, and with R₁= 2002, R₂-30.0, R3=750, R4-300, R5= V1 120 V R1 2002 R3 750 R7 >12002 R6 400 R2 2300 R4 >3002 R5 2200arrow_forwardTwo resistors connected in parallel have values of R, - 20 Ohms and R, - 40 Ohms. supply is 10 A. of current through each resistor. 6.

- A voltage divider consists of a 3000 – ohm, a 5000 – ohm, and 10000 – ohm resistor in series and the series current is 15 mA. Find (a) the voltage drop across each resistance and (b) the total voltage.arrow_forwardAn ammeter is a tool that measures the current (a better name would be V Show Current O Electrons ampmeter) that passes through it. In the circuit simulation you can get Conventional ammeters from the upper right toolbar. Labels Values When current is flowing in through the meter a number value will replace the question mark. Current Votmeter Ammeters Wire Resistivity First make a simple series circuit with a battery, switch, single light bulb and ammeter as shown at right. It's actually not necessary to include the switch but if I left it out then my snapshots would all give away the answers. With the switch closed/current flowing in the circuit, record the current that Current is flowing out of the light bulb and back to the battery. 0.00 A The current is A Now switch the light bulb and the battery so that the ammeter comes before the bulb. Current 0.00 A With the switch closed/current flowing in the circuit, record the current that is flowing out of the battery and into the light…arrow_forwardA series circuit has resistance values of 160 ohm, 100 ohm, 82 ohm, and 120 ohm.
