Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a circuit analysis problem involving resistors R1, R2, and R3, with a specified voltage of 50 millivolts and a load resistor R2 valued at 5 gigaohms. The original poster seeks to determine the values of R1 and R3 to achieve an output current of 10 picoAmps.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants suggest starting with voltage division and Ohm's law (V=IR). There are inquiries about the configuration of the resistors, specifically which are in series and which are in parallel. Some participants express the need for the original poster to show their work before receiving further assistance.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants providing hints and guidance on how to approach the problem. There is an emphasis on understanding the circuit layout and the relationships between the components. Multiple interpretations of the circuit configuration are being explored, and some participants encourage redrawing the circuit for clarity.

Contextual Notes

There are reminders about forum rules against providing direct answers without the original poster demonstrating their thought process. The need for clarity on the circuit's return path and the arrangement of resistors is also highlighted.

hello people,

in this circuit the voltage be 50 millivolts and R2 is 5 gigaohms how much should be R1 and R3 so that my output current is 10 picoAmps.
R2 is load here.

regards,
zakki.

Start with voltage division...and V=IR.

Show a little work or thought before we help...
 
getting a small doubt with the resistors,
which are parallel and in series?
can you tell me the total voltage please?

You are not listening. As psparky said, you need to show some work on your own before you get help here.

It is against the forum rules to just spoon-feed people answers to homework problems. Please read the forum rules.
 
brother,
just tell me which are in parallel and which are in series that's it.
i will do the rest of it.
 
You need to follow the nodes. Always best to redraw the circuit in a manner that is "more obvious" to you. And like I said, this is best done by following the nodes. KVL should give you the answer. However, make sure you've drawn the circuit correctly.
 
I'll give you some hints...

Step 1.

What voltage do you need at the blue node to find your desired current. Use V=IR.

Step 2.
Pick a value for R3. Now use voltage division to find your last resistor value...using the voltage you just found at the blue node.

BTW...what is your return path for your load? How does it get back to the battery?
I'm guessing the bottom of R2 hooks to the top of R1...making R1 and R2 in parllel?

And if that's the case...I think you will need to combine R1 and R2 in parallel before using voltage division.
