Chapter 19 Problem 84

Question

\((a)\) What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit shown in Fig. 19–82? [\(Hint\): Redraw the circuit to see series and parallel better.]

\((b)\) What is the current in the 14-\(\Omega\) resistor?

\((c)\) What is the current in the 12-\(\Omega\) resistor?

\((d)\) What is the power dissipation in the 4.5-\(\Omega\) resistor?

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 19 problem number 84 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: \((a)\) What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit shown in Fig. 19–82? [\(Hint\): Redraw the circuit to see series and parallel better.] \((b)\) What is the current in the 14-\(\Omega\) resistor? \((c)\) What is the current in the 12-\(\Omega\) resistor? \((d)\) What is the power dissipation in the 4.5-\(\Omega\) resistor?
From the textbook chapter DC Circuits you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
