Question 14





Q14:
(a) When the switch S in the circuit of Figure P28.14 is closed, will the equivalent resistance between points a and b increase or decrease? State your reasoning. (b) Assume the equivalent resistance drops by 50.0% when the switch is closed. Determine the value of R.
r1 = Ω
r2 =Ω
i4 = A
