Four equal-value resistors are in series with a 5 V battery, and 2.23 mA are measured. What isthe value of each resistor

Sagot :

Answer:

560.54 Ω

Explanation:

Applying,

V = IR'............... Equation 1

Where V = Voltage of the battery, I = currrent, R' = Total resistance of the resistors

make R' the subject of the equation

R' = V/I............ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: V = 5 V, I = 2.23 mA = 2.23×10⁻³ A

Substitute these values into equation 2

R' = 5/(2.23×10⁻³ )

R' = 2242.15 Ω

Since the fours resistor are connected in series and they are equal,

Therefore the values of each resistor is

R = R'/4

R = 2242.15/4

R = 560.54 Ω
