In the diagram at the left you will need to decide which switches to close to allow different resistors to have current flowing thru them. This is like maze games-just follow the path. But here are the rules: 1) you must start at the + side of the bat- tery (big side) and get back to the side; 2) you can't go backwards along the same line (since current only flows from high V to low V); 3) you can't make a short-circuit (make a circuit without a resistor in it). 4. So, which switches need to be closed to allow: A) * only resistor 1 to have current in it? B) only resistor 2 to have current thru it? C) to by-pass both resistors? D) for electricity to go thru both resistors?

Three resistors of 25 Ω, 30 Ω and an unknown resistance R are connected in parallel and thecombination is connected to a 16 V source. If the total current delivered by the source is 1.5 A,determine the following:A. The value of R.B. The current in each resistor.C. Which resistor dissipates the highest power? Show your solution. Based on your answer,what conclusion can be made?
And for part F what is the current I through the resistor at t=200 uC?
I understand where part A comes from, but I'm having a hard time making sense for process B and C. I thought I would have to get the potential difference across the first resistor by multiplying I60ohm times the first resistor, divide that potential by Rtotal parallel (8 ohm). Can you break down the process a little bit? Thank you
Current Iin flows into three resistors connected together one after the other as shown. The accompanying graph shows the value of the potential as a function of position.a.

For temperature-dependent ohmic resistors (at least the kind we're focusing on), the relationship between resistance & temperature is linear. With that in mind, compare the formula for temperature-dependent ohmic resistance to the equation for a line (y = mx + b) and determine the slope and the y-intercept for a graph of R vs. T. Your answers should be in terms of Ro, ?, & To. [NOTE: for Ro & To the subscript is a lowercase o] R = Ro[1 + ?(T − To)] slope = y-intercept =
In the figure, does the graph indicate the time constant is shorter for discharging than for charging? Would you expect ionized gas to have low resistance? How would you adjust R to get a longer time between flashes? Would adjusting R affect the discharge time?
A capacitor, C, is (fully) charged by connecting it to a 7 Volt EMF and then is allowed to dischargethrough a 2 Ω resistor as shown in the Figure. What is the current, I, in the circuit (in A) when thestored energy in the capacitor has dropped to 30% of its initial value?
hi may i ask how to simplify the resistors on the right, like the one in the left.
As the potential across the resistor increased, the current through the resistor increased. If thechange in current is proportional to the potential difference, the data should be in a straight lineand the y-intercept should be zero. In the two resistor examples how close is the y-intercept tozero? Is there a proportional relationship between potential difference and current? If so, writethe equation for each resistor data set in the form V = mI. Use a numerical value for theproportionality constant, m. Compare the constant in each of the above equations to the resistance of each resistor.
In the circuit shown in the figure (Figure 1), the 6.0 ΩΩ resistor is consuming energy at a rate of 21 J/sJ/s when the current through it flows as shown. What are the polarity and emf of the battery EE, assuming it has negligible internal resistance? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the polarity of the battery is the same as shown the figure and negative value in another case.
