For the electric circuit given below, calculate: 3 (i) the equivalent resistance of the circuit, (ii) the total current drawn from the battery and (iii) the voltage across 7Ω resistor.

1)31/3Ω

2)18/31A

3)4.06V

Explanation:

According to the diagram and 10 Ω resistors are parallel to each other, parallel resistor can be calculated using the formula below

1/R= 1/R1 + 1/R2

But we know R1= 5 Ω and R2= 10 Ω

1/R= 1/5 + 1/10

R= 10/3 Ω

=3.33 Ω

Then if we follow the given figure, 10/3 Ω and 7Ω are now in series then

Req = 10/3 +7

Req= 31/3 Ω

Therefore, equivalent resistance = 31/3 Ω

According to ohms law we know that V= IR

Then I= V/R

Where I= current

R= resistance

V= voltage

I= 6/(31/3)

I= 18/31A

We can now calculate the voltage accross the resistor which is

V=(18/31)× 7

V=4.06V

Therefore, the voltage accross the 7 ohm resistor is 4.06V
