Question
You bought a 36.0 V battery, 20.0 Ω, 76.0 Ω, and 103.0 Ω resistors. You decide to connect them in parallel and wish to calculate the current (in A) through each resistor and power(in W) dissipated by each resistor.
(a)Calculate the equivalent resistance in the parallel circuit.Reqv= Ω
(b)Calculate the currents (in A) and the power (in W)for each resistor.
I20.0 Ω= A
P20.0 Ω= W
I76.0 Ω= A
P76.0 Ω= W
I103.0 Ω= A
P103.0 Ω= W
