Base on the questions and answer given from a- c please help to figure out part D please show explanation thank you
A typical television dissipates 245 W when it is plugged into a 120 V outlet.
(a) Find the resistance of the television.
58.7757 ohms
(b) The television and 3.0 wires connecting the outlet to the fuse form a series circuit that works like a voltage divider. Find the voltage drop across the television.
113.87 V
(c) A 10 hair dryer is plugged into the same outlet. Find the equivalent resistance of the two appliances.
8.55 ohm
(d) Find the voltage drop across the television and the hairdryer.
? V
Physics Help:)!!!?
Somewhere something does not add up, because to get this value for total resistance (8.55ohm) the circuit has to be a parallel circuit and they are talking about a voltage divider circuit which is a series circuit? R you sure the other answers are all correct?
