Ralph has three resistors, R1, R2, and R3, connected in series. When connected to an ideal emf source E1, current I1 flows through the resistors. a. If the resistors are instead connected to a second source with E2=2E1, what is the new current through the resistors in terms of the first current? b. Show that, if each resistance is doubled and the resistors are connected in series to the second emf source, the current through the resistors is equal to I1.

Figure P27.48 shows a circuit model for the transmission of an electrical signal such as cable TV to a large number of subscribers. Each subscriber connects a load resistance RL between the transmission line and the ground. The ground is assumed to be at zero potential and able to carry any current between any ground connections with negligible resistance. The resistance of the transmission line between the connection points of different subscribers is modeled as the constant resistance RT. Show that the equivalent resistance across the signal source is Req=12[(4RTRL+RT2)1/2+RT] Suggestion: Because the number of subscribers is large, the equivalent resistance would not change noticeably if the first subscriber canceled the service. Consequently, the equivalent resistance of the section of the circuit to the right of the first load resistor is nearly equal to Req. Figure P27.48
