Answer to Question #240572 in Electrical Engineering for Rotchel

Question

Three resistors A,B , and C are connected in series to a 117 volt source . If RA= 64 ohms , and EB = 40 volts when the current is 0.5 amp , calculate the resistors RB and RC

Answer 1

$-117 + 64(0.5) + 40 + R_c(0.5) = 0\\ R_c = \frac{45}{0.5} = 90ohms\\ R_b = \frac{40}{0.5} = 80 ohms\\$
