Question

For the circuit below, the total current drawn by the circuit is 0.909 A. Determine the current (in A) in each branch of the circuit. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.)

8 V

R₁ = 4 Ω

R₂ = 8 Ω

R₃ = 12 Ω

A circuit is comprised of two side-by-side square loops. The left side of the left loop contains a battery with voltage 8 V and the current flows upwards. The top side of the left loop contains a light bulb with resistance R₁ = 4 Ω and the current flows rightwards. The right side of the left loop, which is also the left side of the right loop, contains a light bulb with resistance R₂ = 8 Ω. The right side of the right loop contains a light bulb with resistance R₃ = 12 Ω.

What is the equivalent resistance (in Ω) of the two branches in parallel?

Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. Ω

What is the total resistance (in Ω) of the circuit?

Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. Ω

What is the sum of the voltage drop (in V) across each light bulb?

What is the current (in A) drawn by the circuit?

Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 100%. A

What is the voltage drop (in V) across the light bulb with R₁?

What is the voltage drop (in V) across the light bulb with R₂?

What is the current (in A) in the branch 2 (light bulb with R₂)?

What is the voltage drop (in V) across the light bulb with R₃?

What is the current (in A) in the branch 3 (light bulb with R₃)?

For the circuit below, the total current drawn by the circuit is 0.909 A. Determine the current (in A) in each branch of the circuit. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.)

### Diagram of the Circuit
- **Voltage Source:** 8 V
- **Resistors:**
- \( R_1 = 4 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 8 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_3 = 12 \, \Omega \)

### Description
The circuit features a series of resistors with a total resistance, and the task is to calculate the current in each branch. The resistors \( R_2 \) and \( R_3 \) appear to be in series with each other while \( R_1 \) is in series with the parallel combination of \( R_2 \) and \( R_3 \). The current from the 8 V battery flows through these resistors.
