    Maximum current through resistor in a coil of wire with two resistors in parallel

    Homework Statement A coil of wire has 600 turns and is 5.5 cm in diameter is in a magnetic field that decreases from 2.2 T to 0 T in 6.2 ms. The axis of the coil is parallel to the field. The coil is hooked up to two resistors of 120 Ω and 200 Ω connected in parallel. What is the maximum...

    Distance away to create the same magnetic field strength?

    Yes, I just tried that.. and it didn't say it was correct. It usually will give me the answer if it is that close but it says that is the wrong answer.

    Circuit help? with two batteries and resistors

    So does that mean the second battery actually decreases the voltage at 8V? or do the lines within the battery not switch to show direction? I=(V1-V2)/(R+R+R) so I=(24-8)/50=>8/25 or .32Amps Vdrop=(.32)(14)=4.48V then another 8V from other battery. So before the last two resistors, 11.52V...

    Series and parallel circuit with multiple resistors?

    Would I be able to break it up to 4.5V going both ways.. say V=IR I=4.5V/6ohms to get .75A That is where I get confused with how to find the voltage drop with more than one resistor
