Res-monster maze.In Fig. 27-21, all the resistors have a resistance of4.0Ω and all the (ideal) batteries have an emf of 4.0 V. What is the current through resistor R? (If you can find the proper loop through this maze, you can answer the question with a few seconds of mental calculation.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The current through resistor R is, 2.0 A.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. The resistance value of all the resistors,R=4.0Ω
  2. Emf of the all the ideal batteries,ε=4.0V
02

Understanding the concept of current flow

We know that the current flows through the positive to the negative terminal of the battery. In the given problem, we need to create a loop such that there is no resistance line through the loop to cause any external disturbance to the required current value. Thus, we choose such a manner that we end up with only resistor R attached to the ideal batteries that contribute to the net current value through this resistor considering no other resistors.

Formula:

The voltage equation using Ohm’s law,

V=IR …(¾±)

Kirchhoff’s voltage law,

∑closedloopV=0 …(¾±¾±)

03

Calculation of the current through resistor R

Using equation (ii), we need to choose a loop that only has resistance R to get the required current value. (Since, if we encounter any other resistance, the required current will change as resistor will not be in series with the given resistance)

Thus, we get the voltage equation using equation (i) in equation (ii) as follows for the above circuit as follows:

+ε+ε+ε-ε-IR=0I=2εR

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

I=24.0V4.0Ω=2.0A

Hence, the current value is, 2.0 A.

Question: Slide flash. Figure indicates one reason no one should stand under a tree during a lightning storm. If lightning comes down the side of the tree, a portion can jump over to the person, especially if the current on the tree reaches a dry region on the bark and thereafter must travel through air to reach the ground. In the figure, part of the lightning jumps through distance in air and then travels through the person (who has negligible resistance relative to that of air). The rest of the current travels through air alongside the tree, for a distance h. Ifand the total current is, what is the current through the person?
