Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 18P
(a) Determine the equivalent resistance of the “ladder” of equal 175-? resistors shown in Fig. 19-49. In other words, what resistance would an ohmmeter read if connected between points A and B? (b) What is the current through each of the three resistors on the left if a 50.0-V battery is connected between points A and B?

Suppose you measure the terminal voltage of a 3.200-V lithium cell having an internal resistance of 5.00 Ω by placing a 1.00-kΩ voltmeter across its terminals. To see how close the measured terminal voltage is to the emf, calculate their ratio.
A high tension (HT) supply of, say, 6 kV must have a very large internal resistance. Why?
