For the circuit shown in the figure find the current through
For the circuit shown in the figure, find the current through and potential difference across each resistor. Place your results in a table.
Solution
Req of center branch
Req = 6 + 8*24/32 = 12 ohm
Req of circuit = 4 + 12*24/36 = 12 ohm
I = V/R = 24/12 = 2 A
I 4 = 2 A ,
I 24 = 12/36*2 = 0.666 A
I6 = 12/36*2 = 1.333 A
I8 = 24/32*1.333 = 0.99975 A
I24 center = 8/32*1.333 = 0.333 A
V = IR
V 4 = 4*2 = 8 V
V 24 = 24*0.666 = 15.98 V
I6 = 1.333*6 = 7.998 V
I8 = 24/32*1.333 = 0.99975*8 = 7.998 V
I24 center = 8/32*1.333 = 0.333*24 = 7.992 V
