ECQ Quiz 1: Current and Resistance / DC Circuits

Answer the following

1. Draw a schematic diagram showing a simple circuit composed of a 12-V battery and a 12- Ω resistor. Solve
for the current flowing through the resistor. Show a complete solution (10 points)

2. Draw a schematic diagram of a closed circuit with three resistors in series connected across a 9.0−V
battery. Let the resistors be: R1=3.0 Ω, R2=6.0 Ω and R3=9.0 Ω. Complete the table below by solving
for: (a) the current through each resistor and (b) the voltage across each resistor. Show a complete solution
(20points)
