Answer:
21.3 V, 1.2 A
Explanation:
1.
These resistors are in series, so the net resistance is:
R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃
R = 20 + 30 + 45
R = 95
So the current is:
V = IR
45 = I (95)
I = 9/19
So the voltage drop across R₃ is:
V = IR
V = (9/19) (45)
V ≈ 21.3 V
2.
First, we need to find the equivalent resistance of R₂ and R₃, which are in parallel:
1/R₂₃ = 1/R₂ + 1/R₃
1/R₂₃ = 1/10 + 1/10
R₂₃ = 5
Now we find the overall resistance by adding the resistors in series:
R = R₁ + R₂₃ + R₄
R = 10 + 5 + 10
R = 25
So the current through R₁ is:
V = IR
30 = I (25)
I = 1.2 A
