Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

In a series circuit with three resistors of values 100 Ω, 150 Ω, and 200 Ω connected to a 12 V battery, calculate the total current and individual voltage drops across each resistor.

💡 Hint: Apply Ohm's Law for each resistor after calculating total current.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze how adding a fourth resistor of 250 Ω affects the current when added in series to the previous three. What will be the new total current?

💡 Hint: Recalculate total resistance and see its effect on the current!
