Question

In the circuit given below, find the potential difference between A and B.

Answer 1

The Potential difference in the circuit between A and B is 34.2 volts

Explanation:

In the diagram, the resistance occur in series and parallel as well. Let us assumed the resistances as R₁, R₂, and R₃. The voltage is represented as V₁ and V₂

Given Data

R₁=0.2 ohm

R₂=0.1 ohm

R₃=3.7 ohm

V₁=12 V

V₂=6 V

I₁=?

I₂=?

Here the variance occur in both voltage and resistance,so we have to find current for individually.

Find the Potential difference in the circuit between A and B.

• The potential difference in a circuit causes the current to flow through the circuit.

• Multiply the amount of the current by the amount of resistance in the circuit.The result of the product will be the potential difference.

• The SI unit measured  in volts.
• This formula is known as Ohm's Law,

                                      V = IR

To find current,

$\text{I}= \frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}}$

Substitute the value to find the current in the above equation,

$\text{I}_1= \frac{12}{0.2} = 60 \text{A}$

$\text{I}_2 = \frac{6}{0.1} = 60 \text{A}$

Total resistance in the circuit can be given by the below equation,

$\text{R \ total}=\text{R}_1+\text{R}_2+ \frac{1}{\text{R}_3}$

$\text{R \ total}=0.2+0.1+ \frac{1}{3.7}$

R total = 0.57 ohm

The total voltage required in the series circuit,

V total=IR total

V total=60 × 0.57

V total=34.2 v

Therefore, the potential difference in the circuit is 34.2 volt
