Question:
Analyze the circuit in Figure P19.48.
(a) Express the resistors in parallel as a single equivalent resistor. What is the value of this resistor?
(b) Combine this equivalent resistor with R1 to get the total equivalent resistance of the circuit. What is the value of this resistor?
(c) The circuit is now “reduced” to a battery in series with a single equivalent resistance. Use your result from part (b) to fi nd the current through the battery and resistor R1.
R1 = 2400 V, R2 = 1400 V, R3 = 4500 Ω, and R4 = 6000 Ω, and the battery emfs are ε1 = 5 1.5 V and ε2 = 5 3.0 V, unless stated otherwise
