- Find the Norton equivalent between terminals 4 and 0. Find the current for the 80 Ohm resistor (RL).arrow_forwardFind voltage across each of the 5 resistors. Find current through each of the 5 resistors. Find power through each of the 5 resistors. My attempt at the solution: I know that total voltage is 24V. I add 12+3+2 since they're in series which equals 17ohms, which reduces total number of resistors. Then I add the parallels: 1/17+1/33=50/561>>>561/50=11.2ohms, then I add remaining 5ohm resistor. 5+11.2=16.2ohms, which is total resistance. Total current would be 24/16.2=1.5A Next I try to solve the following: Voltage across 5ohm resistor: 1.5*5=7.5V, which I know is correct. Voltage across 33ohm: 11.2*1.5=16.8V, which I know is correct. Voltage across 12, 3, and 2: I thought I was correct to do 11.2*1.5=16.8V (since 33 and 17 resistors both equal 11.2ohms), but according to my textbook, that answer is wrong and affects the results for power as well. Current through 5: 7.5/5=1.5A, which is correct. Current through 33: 16.8/33=0.51A, which is correct.
