Question

Q.Solve the following circuit find total resistance RT. Also find value of voltage across resister RC.

Answer 1

Answer:

14.57 ohms

Explanation:

Here in the figure ,Rb & R₄are in series  & also  Rc & R₅ are in series. As they are in series , ( Rb + R₄ ) & (Rc & R₅) are in parallel . So the equivalent resistance in that branch = ( 2 + 18 ) ║ ( 3 + 12 )

                                          = 20 ║ 15

                                          = (20×15) / (20 + 15)

                                          = 8.57 ohms

Also Ra ( 6 ohm ) is in series with that branch ,. So the equivalent resistance of the whole circuit = 8.57 + 6 = 14.57 ohms.
