    On problem 6A and R1 5 ohms and R2 10 ohms , I calculated the equivalent resistance by product over sum as 3.3 ohms. From this calculation 20V is the approximate voltage. The voltage is the same in a parallel circuit as shown. Did the math for the amps.
    at each resistor and agrees with your math. I omitted all math operations for simplicity for the comment. Thanks for your excellent valuable videos.

    On the first example, I simply combined the two resistances into one using 1/R_tot = 1/R_1 + 1/R_2 -> R_tot = 12/5 Ω then just used V=IR -> I = V/R = 12 / (12/5) = 5 A. I think it's a lot easier to just simply the circuit and then determine the current rather than using Ohm's law 3+ times on each path.

    When we finished finding the Ohms, what wattage for the ohm's should we go by? What I mean should we go by the battery watts ( volt × the total amps use )or the device's watts ( volt × device amps ) for the ohm's to handle the heat.

  • @ApexMark2002
    @ApexMark2002 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    What if you don't know the resistance, but only voltage, for example, replace the parallel resistors in your example with LED's. How would you compute current? I'm trying to understand from another video why, for instance, a red LED with a small forward voltage of, say, 2v draws all the current away from a parallel blue LED with a forward voltage of 4v, with both of them sharing a single resistor on the back end. If they each have their own resistor in parallel along with them, everything is fine. thank you.

  • @Oglongs
    @Oglongs 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Why do people still give examples with conventional flow, its just isnt used any more and has been proven to be that electrons are negatively charged thus flow from the negative to the positive, how do you think lead acid, nicad, sicad. otherwise we would have to discharge batteries to charge them instead of reversing the flow of electron like we would normally other than that, a helpful video.

    • @Ramy_Ramz
      @Ramy_Ramz ปีที่แล้ว

      Unfortunately that’s still how we’re being taught. I am doing a diploma course in electronics and comms engineering and we’re being instructed to calculate everything in respect to conventional flow. It bothers me so much because in reality electrons flow from negative to positive and it chooses the path of the least resistance so it just doesn’t make sense to me.

  • @_helloworld_7070
    @_helloworld_7070 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So if im right
    The given is
    +24V R1 5Ω R2 8Ω R3 12Ω
    And the instructions are to find the value of current in each load and totoal current in the circuit
    I1 = V/R1 = 24V/5Ω = 4.8A
    I2 = V/R2 = 24V/8Ω = 3A
    I3 = V/R3 = 24V/12Ω = 2A
    I=I1+I2+I3=4.8A+3A+2A
    I= 9.8A

  • @mordecairugag9873
    @mordecairugag9873 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    What happens to the effective resistance if one wire has a resistor while the other has no resistor in a parallel circuit (that has 2 wires)?
    Can I still use the formula 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 (well, actually no R2), or do I use R = R1 like in a series?
    because I got a question asking what will happen to the ammeter reading if one resistor is removed from the parallel circuit(the resistor is removed but the wire is still connected).
    R = 10 ohm (for both R)
    V = 10 V
    I = 2 A (when there are two R)
    ____(A)___________
    | | |
    (+-) (R) | (the R here was removed)

    Will the current increase or decrease after R was removed?
