LESSON WORK

QUESTION #1

 

Consider the following circuit and answer the questions below.

 

 

a)         What is the total resistance of the circuit?

 

b)         What is the current going through the circuit?

 

c)         What is the voltage drop at R1?

 

d)         What is the voltage drop at R2?

 

e)         What is the power at R1?

 

f)          What is the power at R2?

 

g)         What is the total power for the circuit?

 

h)         How much energy is consumed if the circuit is left connected for 1 hour?

 

QUESTION #2

 

Are you able to write an equation for power that does not have voltage in it?

 

Hint: We know that P = V x I and we know that V = I x R

 

QUESTION #3
