The voltage at the poles of the current source is 20 V. Find the voltage and current in each

The voltage at the poles of the current source is 20 V. Find the voltage and current in each of the two series-connected conductors if R1 = 12 Ohm R2 = 5 Ohm.

Total circuit resistance for series connection:

R = R1 + R2, where R1 = 12 ohms, R2 = 5 ohms.

R = R1 + R2 = 12 + 5 = 17 ohms.

Amperage in each of the conductors when connected in series:

I1,2 = I1 = I2 = U / R, where U = 20 V.

I1,2 = U / R = 20/17 = 1.176 A.

Voltage on each conductor:

U1 = I1 * R1 = 1.176 * 12 = 14.1 V.

U2 = I2 * R2 = 1.176 * 5 = 5.9 V.

Answer: The current on each conductor is 1.176 A, the voltage on the first conductor is 14.1 V, on the second conductor 5.9 V.
