Step by step solution

01

Given Information   

We need to find the current through and the potential difference across each resistor.

02

Simplify   

To calculate the total current in circuit, both 4Ωand12Ωare in parallel, and calculating their equivalent resistance

1R1,eq=14Ω+112Ω1R1,eq=14Ω+112Ω-1R1,eq=3Ω

5Ωresistor is in series with R1,eq, In this case, the equivalent resistance is

R2,eq=R1,eq+5Ω=3Ω+5Ω=8Ω

R2,eqcombination is parallel with 24Ω, so, the equivalent resistance for this combination by

1R3,eq=18Ω+124Ω1R3,eq=18Ω+124Ω-1R3,eq=6Ω

To find the current in circuit use the loop rule, If we travel clockwise, we get

∑V=0ε1=IR3,eq-ε1-I3Ω=012V-I6Ω-3V-I3Ω=0I=1A

03

Simplify   

The current through the circuit is3Ω

I3=1A

To get voltage of 3Ωresistor, we use Ohm's law

△V3=I3R3=(1A)(3Ω)=3V

The voltage of 24Ωis calculated by

△V24=IR3,eq=(1A)(6Ω)=6V

Again we have to get voltage of 24Ωresistor, so we have to use Ohm's law

I24=△V24R24=6V24Ω=0.25A

The current of 5,12,4combination is calculated by

I2,eq=△V24R24=6V8Ω=0.75A

5Ωis in series with R1,eq, and both of them have 0.75Aof current

I5=0.75A

To get voltage of 5Ωresistor, we have to use Ohm's law

△V5=I5R5=(0.75A)(5Ω)=3.75V

Parallel resistors 4Ωand12Ωboth have same voltage and it is calculated by

△V4=△V12=I5R1,eq=(0.75A)(3Ω)=2.25V

Again we use Ohm's law to get the current of 4Ωand12Ωby

I4=△V4R4=2.25V4Ω=0.5625A

and

I12=△V12R12=2.25V12Ω=0.1875A

It seems hard to justify spending \(4.00for a compact fluorescent lightbulb when an ordinary incandescent bulb costs 50¢. To see if this makes sense, compare a 60Wincandescent bulb lasting 1000hours to a 15Wcompact fluorescent bulb having a lifetime of 10,000hours. Both bulbs produce the same amount of visible light and are interchangeable. If electricity costs \)0.10/kWh, what is the total cost—purchase plus energy— to obtain10,000 hours of light from each type of bulb? This is called the life-cycle cost.

What is the equivalent resistance between points a and b in FIGURE EX28.27?

A circuit you’re building needs an ammeter that goes from 0mAto a full-scale reading of 50mA. Unfortunately, the only ammeter in the storeroom goes from 0μ´¡to a full-scale reading of only 500μ´¡. Fortunately, you’ve just finished a physics class, and you realize that you can make this ammeter work by putting a resistor in parallel with it, as shown in FIGURE P28.57. You’ve measured that the resistance of the ammeter is50Ω, not the0Ωof an ideal ammeter.

a. What value of R must you use so that the meter will go to full scale when the current I is50mA?

b. What is the effective resistance of your ammeter?

An electric eel develops a 450Vpotential difference between its head and tail. The eel can stun a fish or other prey by using this potential difference to drive a 0.80Acurrent pulse for 1.0ms. What are

(a) the energy delivered by this pulse and

(b) the total charge that flows?

For the circuit shown in FIGURE P28.58, find the current through and the potential difference across each resistor. Place your results in a table for ease of reading.
