Homework Statement
1. Use resistors of 30 ohms, 40 ohms, 50 ohms, and 50 ohms to create a circuit with a total resistance of 95 ohms.
2. Find the amount of current going through two of these resistors if the circuit is attached to a source of 12 v.
3. What would be the voltage drops for the remaining two resistors?
2. The attempt at a solution
1) The diagram of the circuit is attached.
2) For the resistors of 50 ohms, the current running through them is I = V/R or I = 12/50 = 0.24 amps.
3) For the 30 ohm resistor, the drop is 12/70 * 30 = 360/70 volts.
For the 40 ohm resistor, the drop is 12/70 * 40 = 480/70 volts.
