Math Problem Statement
v3=20v, R1=5ohms , R3=10ohms and R3=15 ohms what is the ampere?
Solution
It looks like you're describing a circuit with resistors , , and another resistor . Additionally, you're giving a voltage of , but I need to clarify whether you're describing a series or parallel circuit, or if the resistors are in different branches.
If the resistors are arranged in series or parallel, the current will be calculated differently. Here are a couple of approaches:
-
If the resistors are in series, the total resistance is the sum of individual resistances, and the total current is given by: where .
-
If the resistors are in parallel, the total resistance is calculated as: and then the current is:
Please clarify the type of connection for the resistors (series or parallel), or if it's something else.
