Answer:
R₁ = 14.7 10³ Ω , R₂ = 8.18 10³ Ω , R₃ = 1.72 10³ Ω , R₄ = 5.4 10³ Ω 1/8 W resistor
Explanation:
For this exercise we must use a series circuit since the sum of the voltage on each resin is equal to the source voltage (V = 30 V)
Therefore we build a circuit with 4 resistors in series, in such a way that
V = i R
let the voltage
1st resistance
V = i R
R₁ = V / i
R₁ = 14.7 / 1 10⁻³
R₁ = 14.7 10³ Ω
power is
P = V i
P = 14.7 1 10⁻³
P = 14.7 10⁻³ W = 0.0147 W
a resistance of ⅛ W is indicated
2nd resistance
R₂ = 8.18 / 1 10⁻³
R₂ = 8.18 10³ Ω
Power
P = 8.18 1 10⁻³
P = 0.00818W
a 1/8 W resistor
3rd resistance
this resistance is calculated in such a way that
V₁ + V₂ + V₃ = 24.6
V₃ = 24.6 - V₁ -V₂
V₃ = 24.6 - 14.7 - 8.18
V₃ = 1.72 V
R₃ = 1.72 / 1 10⁻³
R₃ = 1.72 10³ Ω
power
P = Vi
P = 1.72 10⁻³
P = 0.00172 W
a resistance of ⅛ W
To obtain the voltage of 24.6 we use this three resistors together
4th resistance
The value of this resistance is calculated so that the sum of all the voltages reaches the source voltage
30 = V₁ + V₂ + V₃ + V₄
V₄ = 30 - V₁ -V₂ -V₃
V₄ = 30 -14.7 - 8.18 - 1.72
V₄ = 5.4 V
R₄ = 5.4 / 1 10⁻³
R₄ = 5.4 10³ Ω
Power
P = V i
P = 5.4 10⁻³
P = 0.0054 W
⅛ W resistance
The values of these resistance are commercially
Let's check the consumption of the circuit
R_total = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + R₄
R_total = (14.7 + 8.18 + 1.72 + 5.4) 10³
R_total = 30 10³
the current circulating in the circuit is
i = V / R_total
i = 30/30 10³
i = 1 10⁻³ A
therefore it is within the order requirement.

In a circuit, the electromotive force can be said to be the "source" of the "pushed electrons". This push then creates what is known as a current, which is the flow of electric charge through the circuit. This flow can be slowed down or restricted by a resistor, and this is also what can be harnessed in order to use electric power.
Explanation:
The electromotive force is the potential difference produced by the battery in the circuit. When the circuit is connected to the battery, this potential difference causes the electron to start moving towards the point at higher potential: in this sense, the electromotive force is said to be the "source" of the "pushed electrons".
This flow of electrons moving in the circuit is known as current.
Then, in the circuit, it is possible to place a piece of circuit with a smaller cross-section that restricts the flow of electrons: this component is known as resistor, and its property of restricting the flow of electron is known as resistance.
In a circuit, electromotive force (V), current (I) and resistance (R) are related by Ohm's law:
Finally, when a current passes through a resistor, part of the electric energy is converted into thermal energy, and some power is dissipated through the resistor. The power dissipated is given by
This power can be harnessed, for instance, if the resistor is connected to a light bulb: the energy is transformed into heat and light, and so the light bulb turns on, providing illumination.
