Problem 12-22 Simple circuit - Part 3 - B

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

\(I = V/R \\ I = V/R = 6.0/131 = 0.046\; A    \quad  \text{(answer to part (a))}\)

No. Does the conventional current (plus charges) flow from

plus to minus

or

minus to plus
