A complete circuit contains two parallel connected devices and a generator for providing the electromotive force. The resistance

of the first device is 1208 ohMs the resistance of the second device is 408 ohMs and the voltage developed by the generator is 40 V. What is the magnitude of the current flowing through the first device

We are asked to solve and determine the magnitude of the current flowing through the first device. In order for us to have a better understanding of the problem, we can refer to the attached picture which contains electric circuit diagram. Since it the problem we are already given with an electromotive source or the voltage supply and since the two resistance is in parallel, it would clearly mean that the voltage drop in each resistance is just the same. The resistance 1 uses the 40 volts at the same time the resistance 2 uses 40 volts also. Solving further for the current, we can apply Ohm's law which V = IR where "V" represents the voltage, the "I" represents the current and "R" represents the resistance.

Such as the solution in obtaining current is shown below:
I = V / R, substitute values we have it
I = 40 volts / 1208 ohms
I = 0.0331 Amperes

Therefore, the current flowing in the first device is 0.033 Amperes or 33 milliAmperes.

Question 3 of 10
Volgvan

Answer:

This oxygen reacts with the carbon of the positive electrodes, forming carbon dioxide, so they gradually burn away. As a result, the positive electrodes have to be replaced frequently. This adds to the cost of the process.
