X0.5) = 12ohms. The current is T6j, or 0.5 amperes. The voltage across A is 6 times 0.5, or 3 volts, across B, 3 times 0.5,or 1.5 volts, and across C, 1.5 times 0.5, or 0.75 volts. The voltage drop in each cell is 0.5 times 0.5, or 0.25 volts, sothat the terminal voltage of each cell is 2—0.25, or… … Fig. 23. — Branched or parallel circuit. tween their common terminals divided by their individual resist-ances. For example, if two wires (Fig. 23) have resistances of 4 ohmsand 6 ohms respectively, and the voltage between their terminals(the points A and B) is 12 volts, the current flowing through…
