Solution

Let's solve each question step by step.

Solution for Each Question:

1. Problem 1: Circuit with Parallel Resistors (20 Ω and 30 Ω) and Series Resistor (15 Ω)

Given:

  • Resistors of 20Ω20 \, \Omega and 30Ω30 \, \Omega in parallel.
  • This parallel combination is connected in series with a 15Ω15 \, \Omega resistor.
  • Current through 15Ω15 \, \Omega resistor is 3A3 \, \text{A}.

Solution Steps:

  1. Equivalent Resistance of Parallel Combination (20 Ω and 30 Ω): 1Rparallel=120+130=3+260=560=112Rparallel=12Ω\frac{1}{R_{\text{parallel}}} = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{30} = \frac{3 + 2}{60} = \frac{5}{60} = \frac{1}{12} \Rightarrow R_{\text{parallel}} = 12 \, \Omega

  2. Total Resistance of the Circuit: The total resistance RtotalR_{\text{total}} is the sum of the parallel resistance and the 15Ω15 \, \Omega resistor in series: Rtotal=12Ω+15Ω=27ΩR_{\text{total}} = 12 \, \Omega + 15 \, \Omega = 27 \, \Omega

  3. Voltage of the Whole Circuit: Using Ohm's Law, V=I×RV = I \times R: V=3A×27Ω=81VV = 3 \, \text{A} \times 27 \, \Omega = 81 \, \text{V}

  4. Current Through 20 Ω and 30 Ω Resistors: Voltage across the parallel section is 81V(3A×15Ω)=36V81 \, \text{V} - (3 \, \text{A} \times 15 \, \Omega) = 36 \, \text{V}.

    • Current through 20Ω20 \, \Omega: I20=3620=1.8AI_{20} = \frac{36}{20} = 1.8 \, \text{A}
    • Current through 30Ω30 \, \Omega: I30=3630=1.2AI_{30} = \frac{36}{30} = 1.2 \, \text{A}
  5. Total Power: P=V×I=81V×3A=243WP = V \times I = 81 \, \text{V} \times 3 \, \text{A} = 243 \, \text{W}


2. Problem 2: Equivalent Resistance Between Terminals A and B

This problem involves finding the equivalent resistance in a more complex circuit configuration.

We'll analyze each series and parallel grouping:

  1. First, calculate resistances in series or parallel combinations if any.
  2. Combine them step-by-step toward A and B.

This requires more details, and I'll break it down if needed.


3. Problem 3: Current Through the 2 Ω Resistor

Given a circuit with a 20V20 \, \text{V} supply, and resistors of 16Ω16 \, \Omega, 16Ω16 \, \Omega, 32Ω32 \, \Omega, and 2Ω2 \, \Omega in a specific configuration.

Steps:

  1. Combine parallel and series resistances.
  2. Find total resistance and current.

4. Problem 4: Equivalent Resistance Between A and B

This network of resistors requires:

  1. Simplifying series and parallel parts.
  2. Adding them up toward A-B
