Problem 2: 28.16.
Two resistors connected in series have an equivalent resistance of 690 Ω . When they are
connected in parallel, their equivalent resistance is 150 Ω . Find the resistance of each
resistor.
Solution:
Denoting the two resistors as x and y,
x + y = 690 (2.1)
and

(a) in the parallel circuit shown in Figure 28.5, which resistor uses more power?
(b) Verify that the sum of the power ( I 2 R ) used by each resistor equals the power
supplied by the battery ( I ∆V ) .
(c) In the series circuit, which resistor uses more power?
(d) Verify that the sum of the power ( I 2 R ) used by each resistor equals the power
supplied by the battery ( P = I ∆V ) .
(e) Which circuit configuration uses more power?
Solution:
(a)
∆V = IR (3.1)
Therefore
Therefore,
Since P = I 2 R , we have
which gives
(c)
Since ∆V = IR ,
V 33.0 Ω
I= = = 1.00 A (3.8)
P 33.0 V
Since P = I 2 R , we have
(d)
P1 + P2 = I 2 ( R1 + R2 ) = (1.00 A ) ( 33.0 Ω ) = 33.0 W

Solution:
I1 = 0.714 A (4.2)
Since
I1 + I 2 = 2 A (4.3)
therefore
I 2 = 1.29 A (4.4)
which gives
ε = 12.6 V (4.6)
