Experiment #4: Ohm’s Law Problem Set

Show Calculations and Units (see calculations below)

 F the current through each resistor;


 F the voltage across each resistor;
 F the voltages at points A, B, C, D with
respect to ground

Task 1. Calculate I in amperes

Task 2. Calculate V in volts


I =2 A
V 12Ω

Task 3. Calculate R in ohms


22V R

Calculations

V 10V
Task 1 V =IR I = I= =1.0 ×10−6 A=1.0 μA
R 6
10 ×10 Ω

Task 2 V =IR V =2 A ×12Ω=24 V

V 22 V
Task 3 V =IR R= R= R=4.4 Ω
I 5A

V 22 V
Task 4 Req =5 Ω+2 Ω+3 Ω=10 Ω I = I= =2.2 A
R eq 10 Ω

1) Current through each resistor is 2.2A, since current is same in series combination.

2) We will use voltage division rule to find voltage across each resistor.
5Ω 5Ω
V 5 Ω =V × V 5 Ω =22 V × =11 V V 5 Ω =11V
5 Ω+2 Ω+3 Ω 10 Ω

2Ω 2Ω
V 2 Ω =V × V =22 V × =4.4 V V 2Ω =4.4 V
5 Ω+2 Ω+3 Ω 2 Ω 10 Ω

3Ω 3Ω
V 3 Ω =V × V 3 Ω =22 V × =6.6 V V 3 Ω =6.6 V
5 Ω+2 Ω+3 Ω 10 Ω

3) Voltages with respect to ground:

At point D V=0V since it is connected to ground.

At point C V D +V 3 Ω =0 V + 6.6 V

At point B V D +V 3 Ω +V 2 Ω =0 V +4.4 V + 6.6V =11 V

At point A V D +V 3 Ω +V 2 Ω +V 5 Ω =0 V +4.4 V + 6.6 V +11 V =22 V

500Ω × 50Ω
Task 5 Req = R =45.45 Ω
500 Ω+50 Ω eq

V 22 V
I= I= =0.4 8 4048 A I =0.48 A
R eq 45.45Ω

1) Now we have to use current division rule to calculate I1 and I2

50 Ω 50Ω
I 1=I × I 1=0.48 A × =0.4 3 636 A I 1=0.044 A
500 Ω+50 Ω 550Ω

500Ω 500Ω
I 2=I × I =0.48 A × =0.04 3 636 A I 2=0.44 A
500 Ω+50 Ω 2 550Ω

22V 22V
OR I 1= 500 Ω =0.044 A I 2=
50 Ω
=0.44 A

2) Voltages across 50Ω resistors→ V 1=V 2 =22V

Q1: Voltages if point A was grounded:


At point A V=0V since it is connected to ground.

At point B V A −V 5 Ω=0V −11 V

At point C V A −V 5 Ω−V 2Ω =0 V −11V −4.4 V =−15.4 V

At point D V A −V 5 Ω−V 2Ω −V 3 Ω =0 V −4.4 V −6.6 V −11 V =−22 V

Q2: Voltages if point C was grounded:

At point A V C +V 5 Ω +V 2 Ω=0 V +11 V +4.4 V =15.4 V

At point B V C +V 2 Ω =0 V + 4.4 V =4.4 V

At point C V=0V since it is connected to ground.

At point D V C −V 3Ω =0 V −6.6 V =−6.6 V
