HW 7

In series circuits we can calculate the voltage, current and power for each resistor using the following.

R total = R 1 + R 2 + R 3 +R4 sum all the resistors

I total= I _R1 = I_R2 = I_R3 = Vtotal/ R total = current is the same everywhere in a series circuit

V_R1 = I * R1, V_R2=I *R2, etc.

Power dissipated in each resistor is P_R1 = I² * R1 , P_R2 = I² * R2,etc

Write a program to do the following:

a) The main section of the program will ask the user for the value of four resistors in your series circuit and the total voltage (V) applied to the series circuit.

b) In the main section it must call a function that will calculate the total series resistance and return the total resistance value to the main section.

c) In the main call a function that will calculate the voltage across each resistor.

d) In the main call a function that will calculate the power dissipated in each resistor.

e) In the main call a function that will display an output that looks like

For the series circuit :

R1 = ##### R2=#### R3=#### R4=#### Rtotal=######

IR1= ##### IR2=#### IR3=#### IR4=#### Itotal=######

VR1=##### VR2=#### VR3=#### VR4=#### Vtotal=#####

PR1=##### PR2=#### PR3=#### PR4=#### Ptotal=#####

Note: all resistor values have no decimal values and are 1000 ohms or more and all output values should only have 3 decimal places.
