How to find current in parallel and series?

Click For Summary
To find current in parallel and series circuits, the total current from a 12V battery is calculated as 0.47874A. The 11-ohm resistor has a current of 0.47874A and a voltage of 5.28V. The remaining voltage of 6.72V is across the 12-ohm resistor, which has a current of 0.3061A. The current distribution in series components remains the same, while the voltage varies across each resistor. Clarity in circuit diagrams is essential for accurate analysis.

With 12V battery,I had simplified the look and found the I.total= 0.47874. I need to find the Current and Voltage in all the resistors. I understand the 11 ohms has I=0.47874 and V=5.28V.
Then remaining voltage goes to the parallel ones, so the 12 ohms has V=6.72V and I=0.3061A , then the remaining amps go to the other side which are in series and are the same? with different voltages?

I see your diagram as being so tiny as to be unreadable even though it is in a SPACE that is quite large.
 

Thread 'Magnitude of buoyant force in fluids of different densities'

The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
