Problem 12-22 Simple circuit - A

Diagram of circuit with resistors.

In the figure, what are
(a) the current through the \(47\; \Omega\) resistor?
(b) the direction of the current through the \(47\; \Omega\) resistor?
(c) the potential difference \(V_A - V_B\)?  \(V_B - V_A\)?
(d) the voltage across the \(84\;  \Omega\)  resistor?
(e) the potential at point \(C\), if we define the potential at the negative terminal of the battery to be zero?

Accumulated Solution

Correct

The total current in the circuit is given by:

(A)   \(I = R/V\)

(B)   \(I = RV\)

(C)   \(I = V/R\)
