Answer:
R=0.5B+0.5C+2A+D
Explanation:
By the triangular law of vector addition
vector R= vector B- vector D
As A,B,C,D are edges of the parallelogram,
A is parallel to D but opposite in direction.
Therefore
;
;
B is parallel to C and in same direction.
Answer:
1) R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))
2) 0.5 A
3) 3.6 V
Explanation:
1) We can see that resistors R2 and R3 are in parallel.
Formula for sum of parallel resistors; 1/Rt = 1/R2 + 1/R3
Making Rt the subject gives;
Rt = (R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3)
Now, Resistor R1 is in series with this sum of R2 and R3. Thus;
Total resistance of circuit = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))
2) R_total = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))
We are given;
R1 = 7.2 Ω
R2 = 8 Ω
R3 = 12 Ω
R_total = 7.2 + ((8 × 12)/(8 + 12))
R_total = 7.2 + 4.8
R_total = 12 Ω
Formula for current is;
I = V/R
I = 6/12
I = 0.5 A
3) since current through the circuit is 0.5 and R1 is 7.2 Ω.
Thus, potential difference through R1 is;
V = IR = 0.5 × 7.2 = 3.6 V
