G9 Science - Class 13 Lesson Answer
R3 is connected in
series to R1 and R2
R1 and R2 are
connected in parallel
Step 2: Combine any parallel resistors into a single
equivalent resistor.
Combine R1 and R2 into a
single resistor R1 // R2
1 1 1
= +
𝑅1 //𝑅2 𝑅1 𝑅2
1 1 1
= +
𝑅1 //𝑅2 20 30
𝑹𝟏 //𝑹𝟐 = 𝟏𝟐𝜴
Step 3: Combine any series resistors into a single
equivalent resistor.
𝑅𝑇 = 12 + 8
𝑹𝑻 = 𝟐𝟎 𝜴
Step 4: Calculate the total current from the total
voltage and the total resistance.
Find IT

𝑰𝑻 = 𝟑 𝑨
Step 5: Recall that IT
stays the same
through a series I3 V3
circuit. 3 A 24 V

A turkey is cooked in the oven for 4.00h. Assume
that the oven draws a current of 20.0A and operates
at a voltage of 220V. If electrical energy costs
$0.082/kW∙h, how much does it cost to cook the
turkey?
