How to find i1, i2,i3

Physics
1 answer:
MrRissso [65]3 years ago

to find i1, i2, and i3 we need to find the total current.

to find the total current, you need to find the total resistance

you're already given the total voltage, Vs

to find Rtotal, start from the resistors furthest from the voltage source.

R3 and R4 are in series so

Rtotal= R3+R4 = 6+3 = 9 ohms

9 ohms is now in parallel with R2 so,

Rtotal= (\frac{1}{R3+R4}) ^{-1}\\ + (\frac{1}{R2}) ^{-1})^-1= (1/18)^-1 +( 1/9)^-1 = 6 ohms

6 ohms is in series with R1 so

Rtotal=  4+6=10 ohms

itotal= (\frac{Vtotal}{Rtotal})

= 120 v/10 ohms = 12 A

i total = i1 because all the current flows through it

i1= 12A

so the current splits into i2 and i3 and the amount of current that flows through a branch depends on the total resistance in each branch.

we already calculated the resistance in the R3+R4 & R2 branch as 6 ohms

since r3 and r4 are in series, the same current will flow through them

r3+r4 = 9 ohms

r2= 18 ohms

so the current in r2 will be half that of R3 & R4 (V=IR)

using the current divider rule

Ix = Itotal * \frac{Rtotal}{Rx}

i2= 12A x (6 ohms/18 ohms)= 4 A

i3= 12A x (6 ohms/9 ohms) = 8 ohms

Susan said, if I fertilize my geranium plants, they will blossom
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

I don't know what you're asking, but I will try my best.

If Susan fertilizes her geranium plants, it will help them blossom. If she over-fertilizes them though, they will die. But yes, in general, they will blossom if Susan fertilizes her geranium plants.

A square loop of wire, with sides of length a, lies in the first quadrant of the xy plane, with one corner at the origin. In thi
Ainat [17]

Answer:

emf=-\dfrac{1}{2}kta^5

Explanation:

Given that

B(y, t) = k y ³t²

To find the total flux over the loop we have to integrate over the loop

\phi =\int B.dS

Given that loop is square,so

\phi =\int B.dS

B(y, t) = k y ³t²

\phi =kt^2\int_{0}^{a}dx\int_{0}^{a}y^3dy

\phi =\dfrac{1}{4}kt^2a^5

We know that emf given as

emf=-\dfrac{d\phi }{dt}

\phi =\dfrac{1}{4}kt^2a^5

So

emf=-\dfrac{1}{2}kta^5

How much force is needed to stop a 100 kg football player if he decelerates at 20 m/s-2
Brut [27]
We know, f = ma
Here, m = 100 kg
a = 20 m/s²

Substitute their values, 
f = 100 * 20
f = 2000 N

In short, Your Answer would be 2000 N

Hope this helps!
