Hi,
I am missing something with this question and i am not getting a correct answer.
They are asking to calculate the Current on the 600Ohm resistor (R2)
1.png - The circuit for the question.
I started by calculating the equivalent resistance and equivalent current of the circuit and i got:
I - 0.44A
R - 500Ohm
* I know that the total current in the circuit is the same current for the first resistor (100Ohm resistor)
I1 = 0.44A
Then i continued and found the Voltage for the 100Ohm resistor
V1 = 44V
Because the next resistors are in parallel i know that the voltage on them is the same.
So i thought that 220V - 44V should give me the Voltage on R2 and R3 (600Ohm and 300Ohm) resistors
But i am guessing this is not correct as i am getting that the current on R2(600Ohm) resistor is 0.12A and the correct answer is 0.5A
Appreciate help with what i am missing here.
Thank you,
Tom
