gughanath Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 This question is giving me a headache, I just dont get the right answer. Please explain how I could solve this problem!!R = 36 OHMSFind the current in the 36 ohms resistor.Find the p.d. between a and b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 It is poorly drawn. You should re-draw the circuit and it will become more clear. Use the parallel and series calculations for resistors and redraw the circuit. Put the 24VDC source on the left by itself. It is easier to look at this way.

ante Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 There will be no current in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gg4rest Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I am assuming this is a textbook question so it is drawn incorrectly as Ante pointed out, there should be "dots" to show that they are connected. However, assuming they are connected and I did my math and circuit reduction right. And assuming that p.d. stands for Potential Difference (ie Voltage)I=0.1436775 AV=5.89077 VI also assume that if this is for a class, then your professor will want you to show your work... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I think all of the crossed lines are connections. This is how you normally see a text book question. Like I said, it is poorly drawn. Moving things around a little will make it more clear.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gughanath Posted February 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 hey, sorry about the late reply. YES, you are right, this disagram is actually really bad. But still, the answers are correct. I realised what mistake I did too. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
