HW

Try the combination circuit problem on the hand-out.  Hints:

1.  Figure out the total resistance first, which you'll do by finding out what is in series and what is in parallel.  Then find the total resistance.

2.  Next, find the total/battery current.

3.  Then, make a chart and do your best to fill it in, figuring out which (if any) currents equal the total/battery current.


Also, lab draft due next class.  The final lab report will be due 2 classes after that.


Additional circuit problem, if you would like to try it:

You have three resistors:  30, 40 and 60 ohms.  Find the total resistance, all currents and all voltages if they are:
a.  in series
b.  in parallel
