Combination circuit help please

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a combination circuit problem involving voltage, resistance, power, and current for multiple bulbs. The user initially provides a voltage of 120V and mentions having calculated a total resistance of 2.25 ohms. They express uncertainty about their calculations, particularly regarding the arrangement of resistors in series and parallel configurations. Additional details about the circuit layout and resistor designations are provided, with calculations for current and voltage for each resistor. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in problem-solving and encourages sharing thought processes for better assistance.

The voltage is 120 and its asking me to find total voltage, resistance, power and current. The resistance is given, its all 3 its asking for voltage, power and current for each bulb///please help me...thanks a looot and the picture for this problem is down please click com.jpg...thanks a loot

This looks like a straight forward question. However before any of us can assist you with homework, you need to show us your thought process. What kind of work have you done on this question so far?
Here's an example of what I mean. I also suggest rereading this https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=94379, listed at the beginning of this topic. It provides useful information on constructing your posts.

While your thinking about that, I have a question. Where is the power supply supposed to be, in your circuit diagram?
 
oops sorry the power battery should be at the bottom in the middle sorry about that if u want me to send u another diagram i will...and i don't no which one is parralel and series...when i combined i got the total resistance of 2.25 A... i did 9-1 + 3-1= 2.25 A. i will send u another
 
i will send u the another diagram in another new post...the title will be combination circuit hw
 
and by the way R1 is the left one, R2 is the top middle one, R3 is the right one and R4 is the top center of the power...for R4 i got 40 A and 120 V since its parallel...for R1, R2, and R3 i got 13.33A and for their voltage i got 39.99 V for each of them...i am not sure if that is right or not...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Struggle to understand the concept of the question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
