Question:
A parallel combination of an 8-Ω resistor and an unknown resistor R is connected in series with a 16-Ω resistor and a battery. This circuit is then disassembled and the three resistors are then connected in series with each other and the same battery. In both arrangements, the current through the 8-Ω resistor is the same. What is the unknown resistance R?
Step by Step Answer:
For the first arrangement find R equ R equ1 16 8 R R ...View the full answer
