Question

Determine the following quantities for the circuits shown below:

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 588.235 ohm ( all the 3 resistors are in parallel )

b) 10 A

c) Current flowing -

in 20 ohm resistor = 6.25 A

in 100 ohm resistor = 1.25 A

in 50 ohm resistor = 2.5 A

d) Voltage drop across all the resistor = 125 V

(As all the resistors are in parallel all the resistors will have the same voltage drop )

e) Power dissipated -

in 20 ohm resistor = 781.25 W

in 100 ohm resistor = 156.25 W

in 50 ohm resistor = 312.5 W

(Power = Current × Potential Difference)
