Question

calculate the equivalent resistance for each element at 10 ohms resistor is connected in parallel combination of 4 N 2 OHMS resistors calculate the of heat produced per second in 4 ohms resistor draw a circuit diagram

Answer 1

Explanation:

R

1

,R

2

and R

3

are the three resistors.

I = electric current flowing through the circuit

V = the potential difference supplied by the battery

Applying the Ohm’s law to the entire circuit, we have

V=IR

On applying Ohm’s law to the three resistors separately, we further have

V

1

=IR

1

V

2

=IR

2

and V

3

=IR

3

The total potential difference across a combination of resistors in series is equal to the sum of potential difference across the individual resistors. That is,

V=V

1

+V

2

+V

3

Therefore, IR=IR

1

+IR

2

+IR

or

Equivalent resistance of the combination, R=R
