1996B4. A student is provided with a 12.0−V battery of negligible internal resistance and four resistors with the following resistances: 100Ω,30Ω,20Ω, and 10Ω. The student also has plenty of wire of negligible resistance available to make connections as desired.
a. Using all of these components, draw a circuit diagram in which each resistor has nonzero current flowing through it, but in which the current from the battery is as small as possible.
b. Using all of these components, draw a circuit diagram in which each resistor has nonzero current flowing through it, but in which the current from the battery is as large as possible (without short circuiting the battery).
The battery and resistors are now connected in the circuit shown above.
c. Determine the following for this circuit.
i. The current in the 10−Ω resistor
ii. The total power consumption of the circuit
d. Assuming that the current remains constant, how long will it take to provide a total of 10 kJ of electrical energy to the circuit?
