Questions: combined circuits

Resistors in Series & Parallel

Using the circuit diagram on the right, calculate the readings on the ammeters and voltmeters A₁, A₂, and V₁ given the following values for R₁, R₂ and R₃:

Question 1:

R₁ = 5 W, R₂ = 2 W, R₃ = 2 W;

Question 2:

R₁ = 200 W, R₂ = 300 W, R₃ = 150 W;

Question 3:

R₁ = 12 W, R₂ = 20 W, R₃ = 30 W;

Question 4:

R₁ = 250 W, R₂ = 1 kW, R₃ = 3 kW;

Question 5:

R₁ = 21 W, R₂ = 10 W, R₃ = 90 W.
