RE: I really need some help with these Electronics questions. Please Help Continued?

7) You are told that all 3 currents are 100mA and given two of the 3 currents. Add the two given currents and subtract from the total to get your answer.



8) In a parallel circuit the total resistance is always less than either of the two resistors separately. So of course it would be less than the smallest resistor as well.



11) Just add the two currents. Of course the current flowing in the "opposite" direction would be negative.



13) d)



14) 1000 uA = 1 mA , you do the math

This stuff is basic, and the answers should all be in the text from your book. Go back and reread it. While some thought on your part is needed to gain the answers from the text, again, this is all basic, and very routine. If you are having trouble with this, I'd advise you to quit now and find something that is not as math intensive as Electronics is.
