Voltage Source in Parallel
Two series aiding ideal voltage sources of 6 volts and 9 volts respectively are connected together to supply a load resistance of 100 Ohms. Calculate: the source voltage, VS, the load current through the resistor, IR and the total power, P dissipated by the resistor. Draw the circuit.
Thus, VS = 15V, IR = 150mA or 0.15A, and PR = 2.25W.
