Understanding the concept of current

In a circuit with several resistors and an ideal battery, the current flow differs due to many conditions. For resistors parallel to each other, the current flowing through them differs, and that of the current value divides into equal values at the junction. Thus, using the concept of voltage law, the current through each resistor as given in the figure can be written and further calculated following the given data.

Formula:

The voltage equation using Ohm鈥檚 law, V=IR (i)

The equivalent resistance for a series combination, Req=inRn (ii)

The equivalent resistance for a parallel combination,Req=in1Rn (iii)

Kirchhoff鈥檚 voltage law, closedloopV=0 (iv)

Kirchhoff鈥檚 junction rule, Iin=Iout (v)

Calculation of the current i2 

(a)

The equivalent resistance of the four resistors on the left side is given using equation (ii) and (iii) as follows:

Req=R12+R34=R1R2R1+R2+R3R4R3+R4=(14)(14)14+14+(6惟)(6惟)6惟+6=7.0惟+3.0惟

Now, the current valuei2 can be calculated using the emf of the battery in equation (i) as follows:

i2=30V10=3.0A

Hence, the value of the current is 3.0A.

04

Calculation of the current i4

(b)

The combination of the three resistors on the right will give the equivalent resistance using equations (ii) and (iii) as follows:

Req'=R56+R7=R5R6R5+R6+R7=(6惟)(2惟)6惟+2+1.5=3.0

Now, the current valuei4 can be calculated using the emf of the battery in equation (i) as follows:

i4=30V3惟=10.0A

Hence, the value of the current is 10.0A.

05

 Calculation of the current i1 

(c)

By the junction rule that is equation (v), the current valuei1 can be calculated as follows:

i1=i2+i4=3.0A+10.0A=13.0A

Hence, the value of the current is 13.0A.

06

Calculation of the current i3

(d)

By concept of the symmetry, the current value i1can be calculated as follows:

i3=i22=3.0A2=1.5A

Hence, the value of the current is 1.5A.

07

Calculation of the current i5

(e)

By the loop rule from equation (iv), the current i5 can be calculated as follows:

i4(R7)i5(R6)=030V10A(1.5)i5(2.0)=0i5=15V2.0=7.5A

Hence, the value of the current is 7.5A.
