Math Problem Statement

r2 and r3 are in series

Solution

Thank you for the clarification. If R2R_2 and R3R_3 are in series, then the calculation changes as follows:


(a) Berechnen Sie den Gesamtwiderstand RgesR_{\text{ges}} der Schaltung.

  1. Series Combination of R2R_2 and R3R_3: R23=R2+R3R_{23} = R_2 + R_3

  2. Parallel Combination of R23R_{23} and R4R_4: R234=R23R4R23+R4=(R2+R3)R4R2+R3+R4R_{234} = \frac{R_{23} \cdot R_4}{R_{23} + R_4} = \frac{(R_2 + R_3) \cdot R_4}{R_2 + R_3 + R_4}

  3. Total Resistance RgesR_{\text{ges}} (series combination of R1R_1 and R234R_{234}): Rges=R1+R234R_{\text{ges}} = R_1 + R_{234} Substituting R234R_{234}, we get: Rges=R1+(R2+R3)R4R2+R3+R4R_{\text{ges}} = R_1 + \frac{(R_2 + R_3) \cdot R_4}{R_2 + R_3 + R_4}


(b) Wie groß sind der Strom II und die Spannung U4U_4?

  1. Total Current II using Ohm's Law: I=U0RgesI = \frac{U_0}{R_{\text{ges}}}

  2. Voltage U4U_4 Across R4R_4: Since R234R_{234} (which includes R4R_4) is in series with R1R_1, the voltage drop across R234R_{234} is: U234=IR234U_{234} = I \cdot R_{234} Thus, the voltage across R4R_4 specifically is the same as U234U_{234}, because R4R_4 is part of the parallel combination: U4=IR4U_4 = I \cdot R_4


(c) Berechnen Sie die Spannung U5U_5 in Abhängigkeit vom Gesamtwiderstand RgesR_{\text{ges}}.

The voltage U5U_5 across the section with R2R_2, R3R_3, and R4R_4 can be expressed in terms of RgesR_{\text{ges}} as follows:

  1. The voltage U5U_5 is simply the voltage drop across R234R_{234}: U5=U0(IR1)U_5 = U_0 - (I \cdot R_1)
  2. Substitute I=U0RgesI = \frac{U_0}{R_{\text{ges}}} into the equation: [ U_5 = U_0 - \left(\frac{U_0}{R_{\text{ges}}} \cdot R_1\right) = U_0 \left(1 - \frac{R_1
