SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on solving basic circuit problems involving current (i1, i2, i), voltage (V1), resistance (R), and power. Key tasks include calculating the currents i1 and i2, determining the power supplied by a dependent voltage source, and finding resistance R given specific voltage and power conditions. The conversation emphasizes the importance of applying Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) to approach these problems effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL)
  • Familiarity with Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL)
  • Basic knowledge of Ohm's Law
  • Ability to perform series and parallel resistor calculations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study KCL and KVL applications in circuit analysis
  • Learn how to calculate equivalent resistance in series and parallel circuits
  • Explore dependent and independent sources in circuit theory
  • Practice solving circuit problems using Ohm's Law and power equations
USEFUL FOR

Students in electrical engineering, hobbyists learning about circuit design, and anyone seeking to improve their skills in basic circuit analysis.

My teacher has been absent most of the semester and the substiute hasn't been much help so I was wondering if you guys could help me out. Thanks

1. Find i1 and i2.

2. (a) Determine the value of i.
(b) Find the power supplied by the dependent voltage source.

3. (a) Find R if V1=30 V.
(b) Find R if power supplied by the current source is 1575 W.

It doesn't matter if your teacher is AWOL. You know how to use wikipedia and other learning resouces on the Internet. We do not do your homework for you here at the PF. Show us your KCL or KVL equations as an attempt at the solution. Then we can offer tutorial help if you have problems.
 
Did you read the bit above where it says not to put homework here?

The second and third question are at a much higher level than the first one, so I have to wonder if you really couldn't do even the first one?

Without doing it for you,
What is 3 ohms in series with 3 ohms?

What is the result of putting 3 ohms across this combination?

What is the result of putting 4 ohms in series with this combination?

Now put 36 volts across the whole set of resistors and what current flows?

How much voltage is there across the 4 ohm resistor?

How much voltage is across the combination of 3 ohm resistors?

So, how much current is flowing in the single 3 ohm resistor?

How much is flowing in the series 3 ohm resistors?
