Question
the Total Resistance is found to be 6 Ohms.
FIND
The required Voltage Source E
The value of R2

Transcribed Image Text:This image depicts an electrical circuit containing a voltage source labeled \( E \), two resistors \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \), and the total resistance \( R_T \).
### Components:
- **Voltage Source \( E \)**: The power source is shown by a symbol with a positive (+) and negative (-) terminal.
- **Total Resistance \( R_T \)**: \( R_T = 6 \, \Omega \). This is the total resistance of the circuit.
- **Resistor \( R_1 \)**: The resistance is \( 18 \, \Omega \).
- **Resistor \( R_2 \)**: There is a power dissipation given by \( P = 81 \, W \), but the resistance value is not directly given.
### Configuration:
- The circuit is a parallel circuit.
- Resistor \( R_1 \) is in parallel with Resistor \( R_2 \).
- The total resistance \( R_T \) is marked on the path leading from the voltage source to the branch containing the resistors.
### Analysis:
- The value of \( R_2 \) can be determined using the power formula \( P = \frac{V^2}{R} \) once the voltage is known, or via the parallel resistance formula if the voltage \( E \) is provided.
- The power consumed by \( R_2 \) is given as \( 81 \, W \).
This circuit diagram is useful for understanding concepts of series and parallel resistances, as well as power dissipation in electrical circuits.
