Consider the circuit shown in the figure below. (Assume R1 = 12.0Ω, R2 = 2.20Ω, andV = 6.00 V.)
(a) Calculate the equivalent resistance of the R1 and 5.00Ω resistors connected in parallel.
(b) Using the result of part (a), calculate the combined resistance of theR1, 5.00Ω and 4.00Ω resistors.
(c) Calculate the equivalent resistance of the combined resistance found in part (b) and the parallel 3.00Ω resistor.
(d) Combine the equivalent resistance found in part (c) with the R2 resistor.
(e) Calculate the total current in the circuit.
(f) What is the voltage drop across the R2resistor?
(g) Subtracting the result of part (f) from the battery voltage, find the voltage across the 3.00Ω resistor.
(h) Calculate the current in the 3.00Ω resistor.
