- Homework Statement
- Find the reading of the idealized ammeter if the battery has an internal resistance of 3.06 Ω
- Relevant Equations
- Series Equation:
1/R = 1/R1 +..... 1/Rn
I cannot understand why the 45 ohm resistor is parallel to the 15 ohm resistor. It's been defined that if two or more resistors are in parallel they same common connection points. I don't see these connections points. Is the junction point after the ammeter signifying that the 45 ohm and 15 ohm resistor are in parallel hence I can use the parallel resistor equation
1/Rtotal = 1/45 + 1/15.
I thought they where all in series but the answer was wrong.
1/Rtotal = 1/45 + 1/15.
