Rate of change of Resistors


Aka

Recommended Posts

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?
