Chapter 28: Q. 43 (page 792)

You have a $2.0 Ω$ resistor, a $3.0 Ω$ resistor, a $6.0 Ω$ resistor, and a $6.0 V$ battery. Draw a diagram of a circuit in which all three resistors are used and the battery delivers 9.0 W of power.

Short Answer

Diagram of the circuit

Step by step solution

Given information

We have given

Resistances = $2 Ω, 3 Ω, 6 Ω$

Battery Voltage = $6 V$

Power = $9 W$

We have to draw the correct circuit diagram.

Simplify

we know that power delivered by the battery will be,

$P = \frac{V^{2}}{R} R = \frac{V^{2}}{P} = \frac{36}{9} = 4 Ω$

we should arrange the resistance just like that we get total equivalent is localid="1649324068838" $4 Ω .$

There is only one method if we arrange the two of them in parallel and one in series then,

localid="1649324073026" $\frac{1}{R_{eq 1}} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6} R_{e q 1} = 2 Ω R_{e q} = 2 + 2 = 4 Ω$
