Ohms law question. Series and Parallel in same circuit.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on applying Ohm's Law (V=IR) to a circuit that includes both series and parallel components. The user expresses uncertainty about how to proceed after calculating the total resistance (Rt) of 8.714 ohms. The complexity arises from the mixed configuration of the circuit, necessitating a clear understanding of both series and parallel resistance calculations to solve the problem effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ohm's Law (V=IR)
  • Knowledge of series and parallel resistor combinations
  • Ability to calculate total resistance in mixed circuits
  • Familiarity with circuit diagrams and analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Study series and parallel resistor formulas in detail
  • Learn how to calculate equivalent resistance in mixed circuits
  • Explore circuit simulation tools like LTspice for practical applications
  • Review examples of complex circuits involving both series and parallel components
USEFUL FOR

Students studying electrical engineering, physics enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of circuit analysis involving Ohm's Law.

Ohms Law-V=IR


The Attempt at a Solution



i do not know what to do once i find Rt (8.714...) because there is a parallel and a series in this circuit.

I put this in another section also, if I am not supposed to do that then someone can delete this thread. i think i can because there's a problem.
