Have to solve V, I, R and Power for all resistors and the circuit total. Known data is shown in table. The rest needs to be solved for
Homework Equations
Ohm's Law and Series Equation: 1/Er=1/R1+1/R2... and Tr=R1+R2...The Attempt at a Solution
Added up parallel circuit and found Er to be .4 ohms. Not sure where to go next.
Solving a combination circuit HW problem involves understanding the different types of circuits (series, parallel, and series-parallel) and using the appropriate formulas and laws (Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws) to calculate the values of the resistors and current in the circuit.
The steps to solve a combination circuit HW problem are:
Some common mistakes made when solving combination circuit HW problems include:
You can check your answer for a combination circuit HW problem by verifying that the calculated values for voltage and current satisfy Ohm's law (V = IR) and Kirchhoff's laws (KCL and KVL). Additionally, you can use a multimeter to measure the voltage and current in the circuit and compare them to your calculated values.
Yes, you can use a calculator to solve combination circuit HW problems. In fact, it is recommended to use a scientific calculator with trigonometric and logarithmic functions to make calculations easier. However, it is important to double check your calculations and make sure you are using the correct units.
