Assessment Problem 2 Determine the voltage V and current 2 F

Assessment Problem 2. Determine the voltage V and current /2. Furthermore, determine the power supplied by the 3 mA source and power absorbed by the 3.2 and 8 resistors. 4.8 3mA 3.2k

Solution

total current in circuit = 8mA

let us determine total resistabce of circuit

resistors 4.8k-Ohms and 3.2k-Ohms are in series .Their total resistnace = 4.8+3.2=8k-Ohms

This is in parallel to 8k-Ohms .Their totak resistnace = (8*8)/(8+8)=4 k-Ohms

this is series with 4k-Ohms

Therefore,totak resistance of circuit = 4+4=8k-Ohms

Total current in circuit = 8mA

therefore, battery voltage = 8*10^-3*8*10³=64 Volts

current I₂ = 8/2=4 mA because the current 8 mA will get equally distributed to branch of 8 k-Ohms and brance of 4.8 and 3.2 k-Ohms resitors since the two branches have equal resistance

Therefore, I₂ = 4mA
