Correct Answer: 0 A
Correct Answer: 6.91%
Correct Answer: one 220 Ω resistor
Correct Answer: 44,800 Ω
Correct Answer: 18 V
Correct Answer: at any point in the circuit
Correct Answer: 15 V
Correct Answer: 32.6 mA
Correct Answer: 200 mA
Correct Answer: 27 mA
Explanation:
Total P = P1 + P2 + P3 = 7/8w.
P = I2R.
I = sqrt (P/R)
Now, P = 7/8w, R = 1200 ohm.
Therefore,
I= sqrt ( (7/8)/1200 ) = 0.0270030862 = 27 mA.
P = I2R.
I = sqrt (P/R)
Now, P = 7/8w, R = 1200 ohm.
Therefore,
I= sqrt ( (7/8)/1200 ) = 0.0270030862 = 27 mA.
