Answer: hello tables and data related to your question is missing attached below are the missing data

answer:

a) I = I₁ = I₂ = I₃ = 0.484 mA

b) I₁ = 0.016 amps

I₂ = 0.0016 amps

I₃ = 7.27 * 10^-4 amps

c) I₁ = 1.43 * 10^-3 amp

I₂ = 0.65 * 10^-3 amps

Step-by-step explanation:

A) magnitude of current for Part 1

Resistors are connected in series

Req = r1 + r2 + r3

= 3300 Ω ( value gotten from table 1 ) ,

V = 1.6 V ( value gotten from table )

hence I ( current ) = V / Req = 1.6 / 3300 = 0.484 mA

The magnitude of current is the same in the circuit

Vi = I * Ri

B) magnitude of current for part 2

Resistors are connected in parallel

V = 1.6 volts

Req = [ ( R1 * R2 / R1 + R2 ) * R3 / ( R1 * R2 / R1 + R2 ) + R3 ]

= [ ( 100 * 1000 / 100 + 1000) * 2200 / ( 100 * 1000 / 100 + 1000 ) + 2200]

= 87.30 Ω

For a parallel circuit the current flow through each resistor is different

hence the magnitude of the currents are

I₁ = V / R1 = 1.6 / 100 = 0.016 amps

I₂ = V / R2 = 1.6 / 1000 = 0.0016 amps

I₃ = V / R3 = 1.6 / 2200 = 7.27 * 10^-4 amps

C) magnitude of current for part 3

Resistors are connected in combination

V = 1.6 volts

Req = R1 + ( R2 * R3 / R2 + R3 )

= 766.66 Ω

Total current ( I ) = V / Req = 1.6 / 766.66 = 2.08 * 10^-3 amps

magnitude of currents

I₁ = ( I * R3 ) / ( R2 + R3 ) = 1.43 * 10^-3 amps

I₂ = ( I * R2 ) / ( R2 + R3 ) = 0.65 * 10^-3 amps
