Step-by-step solution

4 steps

Here's a step-by-step solution for the circuit problem. I'll assume the four resistors are 2 kΩ2 \, \text{k}\Omega, 3 kΩ3 \, \text{k}\Omega, 6 kΩ6 \, \text{k}\Omega, and 8 kΩ8 \, \text{k}\Omega, based on your calculation. The AC supply voltage is V=240 VV = 240 \, \text{V}.

Total Resistance

  1. Calculate the reciprocal of the total resistance for resistors connected in parallel.

    The formula for parallel resistors is:

    1RT=1R1+1R2+1R3+1R4\frac{1}{R_T} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} + \frac{1}{R_4}

    Substitute the given resistance values:

    1RT=12 kΩ+13 kΩ+16 kΩ+18 kΩ\frac{1}{R_T} = \frac{1}{2 \, \text{k}\Omega} + \frac{1}{3 \, \text{k}\Omega} + \frac{1}{6 \, \text{k}\Omega} + \frac{1}{8 \, \text{k}\Omega}

    Find a common denominator, which is 24:

    1RT=1224 kΩ+824 kΩ+424 kΩ+324 kΩ\frac{1}{R_T} = \frac{12}{24 \, \text{k}\Omega} + \frac{8}{24 \, \text{k}\Omega} + \frac{4}{24 \, \text{k}\Omega} + \frac{3}{24 \, \text{k}\Omega} 1RT=12+8+4+324 kΩ=2724 kΩ\frac{1}{R_T} = \frac{12 + 8 + 4 + 3}{24 \, \text{k}\Omega} = \frac{27}{24 \, \text{k}\Omega}
  2. Calculate the total resistance RTR_T.

    RT=2427 kΩ=89 kΩR_T = \frac{24}{27} \, \text{k}\Omega = \frac{8}{9} \, \text{k}\Omega

    Convert RTR_T to Ohms for use with voltage in Volts:

    RT=89×1000 Ω≈888.89 ΩR_T = \frac{8}{9} \times 1000 \, \Omega \approx 888.89 \, \Omega

    The total resistance is 888.89 Ω\boxed{888.89 \, \Omega}.

Total Current

  1. Use Ohm's Law to calculate the total current II.

    I=VRTI = \frac{V}{R_T}

    Substitute the voltage and the total resistance (using the more precise fractional value for RTR_T):

    I=240 V80009 Ω=240×98000 AI = \frac{240 \, \text{V}}{\frac{8000}{9} \, \Omega} = \frac{240 \times 9}{8000} \, \text{A} I=21608000 A=27100 A=0.27 AI = \frac{2160}{8000} \, \text{A} = \frac{27}{100} \, \text{A} = 0.27 \, \text{A}

    Using the rounded value RT≈888.89 ΩR_T \approx 888.89 \, \Omega:

    I=240 V888.89 Ω≈0.26999 AI = \frac{240 \, \text{V}}{888.89 \, \Omega} \approx 0.26999 \, \text{A}

    Your calculation of 269.966×10−3 A269.966 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{A} is approximately 0.270 A0.270 \, \text{A}.
    The total current is 0.270 A\boxed{0.270 \, \text{A}}.

Part iii

64.79 W64.79 \, \text{W}

Power Developed in the Circuit

  1. Calculate the power developed using the formula P=IVP = IV.

    P=I×VP = I \times V

    Using the current value I=0.269966 AI = 0.269966 \, \text{A} (from your calculation) and the given voltage V=240 VV = 240 \, \text{V}:

    P=(0.269966 A)×(240 V)P = (0.269966 \, \text{A}) \times (240 \, \text{V}) P=64.79184 WP = 64.79184 \, \text{W}

    Rounding to two decimal places:

    P=64.79 WP = 64.79 \, \text{W}

    The power developed in the circuit is 64.79 W\boxed{64.79 \, \text{W}}.
