Hi, can someone help me with this question?
Three resistors, R1, R2 and R3, are connected in parallel in an electrical circuit. The total resistance, R, in ohms is given by:
1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/ R3
R, R2, and R3 are increasing at rates of 0.1, 0.5 and 0.7 ohms/s, respectively. Determine the rate at which R1 is changing when R = 50 ohms, R2 = 70 ohms, and R3 = 60 ohms.
Find R1
1/50 = 1/R1 + 1/70 + 1/ 60
(1/50)-(1/70)-(1/60)=1/R1
How do you solve something that is in the deominator?
the i just Plug eerything in to the equation
d/dt 1/R = d/dt 1/R1 + d/dt 1/R2 + d/dt 1/ R3
right?
