Parallel resistors and current division

BASIC LAWS

i 1 = 9 6 = 3A , v = 4i 1 = 4 x 3 = 12 V

By current division, i =
(9 ) = 6 A
6 + 12

Example.. Find i and v

Rab = 12

Example.. Find Rab

Rab = 16

Example.. Find Rab

Find: a) voltage vo, b) power supplied by the current

source and c) power absorbed by each resistor.

q = Cv

Ratio of the charge on one plate of capacitor to the voltage difference

between the two plates

A capacitor consists of two conducting plates separated by an insulato

r.
