The potential difference between point A and point B is 41 Volts
1) Simplify the circuit to a *single* resistor using series and parallel rules. (Hint: work from right to left,
simplifying a few at a time. You'll need to iterate between series and parallel.)
2) Use the total resistance of the whole circuit and the potential difference (41 volts) to determine the total current
pulled into the circuit. (Hint: this should match the result from class through *two* of the resistors.)
3) Why doesn't your answer match for the other 7 resistors?

The following question is about power dissipation in a resistor, which we didnâÂÂt really cover in class. This topic is fairly easy though. In a circuit, all the power delivered by the battery must be dissipated by the elements to the circuit. This is simply a statement of the conservation of energy. How much energy dis- sipated depends on the resistance of the element and the voltage across the resistor, or the current through it. The relevant equa- tions for the problems are as follows. For a circuit element, the power dissipated (or generated) is P = IV, where V and I are the voltage across and current through a circuit element. We know that a resistor obeys OhmâÂÂS Law V = IR, which means that for a resistor, the power dissipated is P = 1R =V²/R. Consider the following two circuits with identical batteries and re- sistors.
