The ideal battery in Figure (a) has emf
Homework Equations
Req for resistors in parallel is 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 +1/R3...
Req for resistors in series is Req = R1 + R2 + R3...
V=iR
Resistors in parallel have same V, resistors in series have same i
The Attempt at a Solution
I found R1 to be 5962.15 through Vs/is
I found R2 as 2/3 Vs/is or 3974.76
R3 as 1/3 Vs/is or 1987.38
Req = R3 + 1/(1/R2+1/R1) or 4372.24 ohms
Then using V=iR (7.7V=4372.24i) I found to be .001761A
If every resistor had the same current/voltage I feel like I could do it but I'm not sure how to put things in terms of each other.
