Part a
The parallel resistance is calculated.
Rparallel=2.00Ω+2.00Ω2.00Ω∗2.00Ω=4.00Ω4.00Ω2=1.00Ω
Now the equivalent resistance is added in series resistance.
Assessing numerically.
Rexternal=RParallel+1.00Ω
Rexternal=1.00Ω+1.00Ω=2.00Ω
Finally:
Rexternal=2.00Ω
Part b
Considering the internal resistance, the equivalent resistance is:
Req=Rexternal+RSourse=2.00Ω+1.00Ω=3.00Ω
Applying Ohm's Law.
IT=ReqV
Where:
- Source Potential Difference
V=1.5V
- Total resistance of the circuit.
Req=3.00Ω
Numerically evaluating
IT=3.00Ω1.5V=0.5A
The total current in the circuit is: IT=0.5A
Part c
The voltage drop in the resistor due to internal resistance is calculated by Ohm's Law.
V=IT∗Rsourse
Where:
- Resistance value of the source.
Rsourse=1.00Ω
IT=0.5A
Numerically evaluating.
V=0.5A∗1.00Ω=0.5V
The voltage drop at the source is:
V=0.5V
Part d
First, the tension in the branch is calculated in parallel using Ohm's Law.
V=IT∗Rparallel
Where:
RParallel=1.00Ω
IT=0.5A
Evaluating numerically
V=0.5A∗1.00Ω=0.5V
Now using Ohm's Law, the current in one of the resistors is calculated.
I=RVparallel
Where:
Vparallel=0.5V
R=2.00Ω
Evaluating numerically.
I=2.00Ω0.5V=0.25A
The current through one of the two resistors is:
I=0.25A
