I'm trying to verify that I correctly calculated the power in R5 shown in the circuit below.
**broken link removed**
I first determined that the voltage over R5 is 4.91 v. Then I calculated power as P = (V^2)/R5 = 4.3 mW. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could verify my calculations. Thanks!
Calc the value of R3 in parallel with R4 (514.29 ohms)....add R2 to that ( 144.29) , then calc that result in parallel with R5...(950.14)...call that Rz
Add that to R1...
Why don't you use mesh analysis? you do the three meshes find the current thru R5, and you're done, it will be very fast if you use a graphing calculator.
