Solution

To calculate IR2I_{R_2} and IR3I_{R_3} in this circuit, we need to use the following steps based on circuit analysis principles (Kirchhoff's Laws and Ohm's Law):

  1. Identify the parameters:

    • R1,R2,R3R_1, R_2, R_3: Resistances.
    • EE: Voltage source.
    • II: Current from the battery.
    • IR2I_{R_2}: Current through R2R_2.
    • IR3I_{R_3}: Current through R3R_3.
  2. Recognize the configuration:

    • R2R_2 and R3R_3 are in parallel.
    • The combination of R2R_2 and R3R_3 is in series with R1R_1.
  3. Equivalent resistance of R2R_2 and R3R_3: The equivalent resistance of R2R_2 and R3R_3, denoted as R23R_{23}, is given by: 1R23=1R2+1R3\frac{1}{R_{23}} = \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} or R23=R2R3R2+R3.R_{23} = \frac{R_2 R_3}{R_2 + R_3}.

  4. Total resistance in the circuit: The total resistance RtotalR_{\text{total}} is: Rtotal=R1+R23.R_{\text{total}} = R_1 + R_{23}.

  5. Find the total current II: Using Ohm's Law, the total current supplied by the source is: I=ERtotal.I = \frac{E}{R_{\text{total}}}.

  6. Voltage across R2R_2 and R3R_3: The voltage VR23V_{R_{23}} across the parallel combination is: VR23=IR23.V_{R_{23}} = I \cdot R_{23}.

  7. Currents through R2R_2 and R3R_3: Using Ohm's Law, the currents are: IR2=VR23R2,I_{R_2} = \frac{V_{R_{23}}}{R_2}, IR3=VR23R3.I_{R_3} = \frac{V_{R_{23}}}{R_3}.

If you provide the values for EE, R1R_1, R2R_2, and R3R_3, I can calculate the specific values of IR2I_{R_2} and IR3I_{R_3}. Would you like to proceed with this calculation?


Here are 5 related questions you might explore further:

  1. How does changing R2R_2 or R3R_3 affect the current distribution?
  2. What happens to II if R1R_1 is increased?
  3. Can we simplify the circuit further if R2R_2 equals R3R_3?
  4. How would introducing another parallel resistor impact the equivalent resistance?
  5. How does the power dissipated in R2R_2 compare to R3R_3?

Tip: When analyzing circuits, always start with equivalent resistances to simplify calculations.
