Homework Statement
[/B]
Use the following values: E = 12.0 V , R1 = 35.0 Ω , R2 = 22.0 Ω , R3 = 41.0 Ω , and R4 = 14.0 Ω .
Find the following currents:
- the current I1 through the resistor of resistance R1 = 35.0 Ω
- the current I2 through the resistor of resistance R2 = 22.0 Ω
- the current I3 through the resistor of resistance R3 = 41.0 Ω
- the current I4 through the resistor of resistance R4 = 14.0 Ω
Homework Equations
ε - RI = ΔV
I = ε/R
R being the resistance
I being the current
The Attempt at a Solution
So from what I understand I_3 = I_4 and I_2 = I_2 + I_3 (or I_4 since they're equal)
Not sure if my math is correct.
I tried using I = ε/R for all of them.
For
I_1 = 0.343
And,
1_3 (or 1_4) = 12/(41+14) = 0.218
Finally,
1_2 = 0.218 + 0.218 = 0.436
Tried using ε - RI = ΔV and I got the same answer for I_1 and I_3/I_4, but I get different answers I_2.
Is my math wrong?
