Three resistors of resistances 2 Ω, 3 Ω and 4 Ω are connected in series with a 15 V supply. Calculate the i) total resistance of the circuit i) total current iii) voltage drop across each resistance.

Given that,

Three resistors of resistances 2 Ω, 3 Ω and 4 Ω are connected in series with a 15 V supply.

Solution,

The equivalent resistance in series combination is given by :

(i) Total resistance of the circuit is equal to 9 ohms.

(ii) Let I be the total current. Using Ohm's law as follows :

(iii) Voltage drop across 2 ohm resistor is :

Voltage drop across 3 ohm resistor is :

Voltage drop across 4 ohm resistor is :

Hence, this is the required solution.

colorectal cancer may also develop from areas of abnormal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. this area of abnormal cells is called dysplasia and is more commonly seen in people with certain inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
