Finding Potential Difference Vab in Parallel Circuits

kushal18 · Oct 3, 2008

Circuit schematic with resistors arranged in a network between points a and b, with a voltage source on the right and labelled resistor values.

Could someone please help me in finding the potential difference Vab?

Thanks!

Circuit schematic of two parallel branches between a 15 V source and 0 V. Top branch: 1910 ohm and 1800 ohm resistors with junction A between them. Bottom branch: 1800 ohm and 1800 ohm resistors with junction B between them.

I hope that this one will be ok.

You've posted this in the wrong forum. There are homework forums for that. You only need to work out the current in each parallel branch, bearing in mind that the voltage across parallel elements are the same. Then with the current, you can find the potential difference and hence Va and Vb. Then with both Va and Vb you can find Vab.
