Answer 3_3_1
|
(a) What is 100 mA in amps?
(1) |
|
100 mA =
0.1 A |
|
(b) What is the current in each resistor?
(1) |
|
0.1 A |
|
(c) Work out the voltage across each resistor.
(3) |
|
V = IR Þ
V1 = 0.1 ´
30 = 3 V ; V2 = 0.1 ´
40 = 4 V ; |
|
V3 = 0.1 ´
50 = 5V |
|
(d) What is the total resistance?
(1) |
|
Rtot = 30 +
40 + 50 = 120 ohms |
|
(e) What is the battery voltage?
(1) |
|
V = 0.1 ´
120 = 12 volts
