    Three resistors (A, B, C) are connected in parallel. Resistor A has a resistance of 48 ohms and draws 2.5 amps. The current through B is twice that of C. The total current is 7.9 amps. Resistor A's voltage is 120V. The remaining current of 5.4 amps divides equally among the three resistors as 1.8 amps each. B draws 3.6 amps and C draws 1.8 amps. The line voltage is 120V. B's resistance is 33.333 ohms and C's resistance is 66.666 ohms.

    (3) three resistors a, b, and c are connected in parallel and take a total of 7.9 amp. Resistor A takes 2.

    5
    amp and has a resistance of 48 ohms, also the current through B is twice as much as that through C.
    Calculate current of B (I of B) and current of C ( I of C)
    calculate the line voltage
    calculate the resistance of B & C

    Resistor A voltage is E = I * R = 2.5 * 48 = 120 volts

    The remaining current of the 7.9 amps is 7.9 - 2.5 = 5.4 amps
    This will be divided 3 ways of 3X = 5.4 or X = 1.8 amps

    B will have a current of 3.6 amps and C will have a current of 1.8 amps.

    The resistors are in parallel, so the voltage will be 120 volts for all three resistors.

    Resistor B resistance will be R = E / I = 120 / 3.6 = 33.333 ohms

    Resistor C resistance will be R = E / I = 120 / 1.8 = 66.666 ohms

    As they are in parallel, the same voltage is across all three.

    for A, E = IR = 2.5 x 48 = 120 volts

    For the others, Ib = 2xIc


    Ia+Ib+Ic = 7.9
    2.5 + 2Ic + Ic = 7.9
    3Ic = 5.4
    Ic = 1.8 amps
    Ib = 3.6
    checking, 2.5+1.8+3.6 = 7.9

    Rb = 120/3.6
    Rc = 120/1.8

    (9) to determine the resistance of three resistor A, B and C the following procedure is followed: Ra and
    Rb are connected in series and an emf of 21 volts is impressed for a current of 1 amp; Rb and RC are
    next connected in series and an emf 27 volts is impressed for the adjusted current; finally Rc and Ra are
    connected in series and an emf of 24 volts is impressed for the same adjusted current. what are the
    ohmic values of A, B and C?

    Ra + Rb = 27 ohms
    Rb + Rc = 27 ohms
    Rc + Ra = 24 ohms
    Rc = Ra = 12 ohms
    Rb = 27 - 12 = 15 ohms
    Using Ohms law: V = I x R
    In all cases I = 1Amp.

    So we get three equa. for each proceduure:-


    21 = 1 x (RA +RB) giving :- 21 =RA +RB (1)
    27 = 1 x (RB+RC) giving :- 27 =RB +RC (2)
    24 = 1 x (RA +RC) giving :- 24 =RA +RC (3)

    First take equ. (1):-


    21 =RA +RB (4)
    Now,re-arrange equ (2) and solve for RB giving: RB = 27-RC (5)
    Next we replace the RB in (4) with (5) giving:-
    21= RA + 27 - RC (6)
    Next,re-arrange equ (3): 24 =RA +RC and solve for RC giving:- RC = 24-RA (7)
    Now we replace the RC in (6) with (7) giving:-
    21= RA + 27 - (24-RA)
    21 = RA +27 -24 +RA
    collecing together RA and constant terms gives:-
    21 =2RA +3
    21-3 = 2RA
    18 = 2RA
    2RA=18
    RA = 18/2
    RA = 9 Ohms

    Putting the value of 9 into equ (1) allows us to calculate RB


    21 = RA +RB
    21 = 9 +RB
    21-9 = RB
    RB = 12 Ohms

    Again, putting RA into equ (3) allows us to calculate RC


    24 = RA +RC
    24 = 9 +RC
    24 -9 = RC
    RC = 15 Ohms

    ANS: RA = 9 Ohm; RB = 12 Ohms and RC = 15 Ohms.
