Question

Find the currents through the 8 Ω resistor at the instant that the switch is closed.0.545 A0.744 A0.641 A0.926 A

Answer 1

From the figure,

The resistors are in series

Thus the equiva;ent resistance is:

R=14+8=22 ohm

Thus the current through the equivalent resistance is:

$i=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{12^{}}{22}=0.545\text{ A}$

The answer is 0.545 A
