ProblemAn electric iron draws 2A at 120V. Find its resistance.How much current is drawn by a toaster with resistance 12 at 110V?In the circuit shown, calculate the current i, the conductance G, and the power p.
AnswerNODES, BRANCHES, AND LOOPS
Determine the number of branches and nodes in the circuit:
Since there are four elements in the circuit, the circuit has four branches: 10 V, 5 , 6 , and 2 A. The circuit has three nodes. The 5 resistor is in series with the 10 V voltage source because the same current would ow in both. The 6 resistor is in parallel with the 2-A current source because both are connected to the same nodes 2 and 3.
