Chapter 6, Problem 15P
For the parallel network in Fig. 6.78:
- Without making a single calculation, make a guess on the total resistance.
- Calculate the total resistance, and compare it to your guess in part (a).
- Without making a single calculation, which branch will have the most current? Which will have the least?
- Calculate the current through each branch, and compare your results to the assumptions of part (c).
- Find the source current and test whether it equals the sum of the branch currents.
- How does the magnitude of the source current compare to that of the branch currents?
