Let's carefully solve each part step by step: --- ### **a. Calculate the value of the voltage that produces the current of 1A in the circuit above.** #### **Step 1: Understand the Circuit** - The circuit has a **5Ω resistor in series** with two resistors in **parallel**: 10Ω and 5Ω. - The total current from the battery (**I_total**) is **1A**. #### **Step 2: Find the Equivalent Resistance** - First, find the equivalent resistance of the 10Ω and 5Ω in parallel: \[ \frac{1}{R_{parallel}} = \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{10} + \frac{2}{10} = \frac{3}{10} \implies R_{parallel} = \frac{10}{3} \Omega \approx 3.33 \Omega \] - Now, add the series 5Ω resistor: \[ R_{total} = 5 + R_{parallel} = 5 + \frac{10}{3} = \frac{25}{3} \Omega \approx 8.33 \Omega \] #### **Step 3: Use Ohm's Law to Find Voltage** \[ V = I_{total} \times R_{total} = 1A \times \frac{25}{3}\Omega = \frac{25}{3} V \approx 8.33V \] **Final Answer (a):** \[ \boxed{V = \frac{25}{3} \text{ V} \approx 8.33\text{ V}} \] --- ### **b. Calculate the value of the current in each of the resistors.** #### **Step 1: Find Current through 5Ω (series) Resistor** - The series 5Ω resistor carries the **total current**: \[ I_{5\Omega, \text{series}} = I_{total} = 1A \] #### **Step 2: Find Voltage Across Parallel Resistors** - Voltage drop across series resistor: \[ V_{5\Omega, \text{series}} = I \times R = 1A \times 5\Omega = 5V \] - Voltage across the parallel combination: \[ V_{parallel} = V_{total} - V_{5\Omega, \text{series}} = 8.33V - 5V = 3.33V \] #### **Step 3: Find Currents in Each Parallel Resistor** - For **10Ω resistor**: \[ I_{10\Omega} = \frac{V_{parallel}}{10\Omega} = \frac{3.33V}{10\Omega} = 0.333A \] - For **5Ω resistor (parallel)**: \[ I_{5\Omega, \text{parallel}} = \frac{3.33V}{5\Omega} = 0.667A \] #### **Step 4: Double Check the Currents Add Up** - Total current through parallel: \( I_{parallel, total} = I_{10\Omega} + I_{5\Omega, parallel} = 0.333A + 0.667A = 1A \) (Matches the total current!) **Final Answer (b):** - **5Ω (series):** \( \boxed{1A} \) - **10Ω (parallel):** \( \boxed{0.333A} \) - **5Ω (parallel):** \( \boxed{0.667A} \) --- ### **c.
