please help me analyze this circuit.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the value of R1, R2 and V |dw:1373953224657:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8

OpenStudy (souvik):

is V the voltage difference across these resistance ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :D

OpenStudy (souvik):

|dw:1373899735663:dw| so \[\huge{V=V _{A}-V _{B}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, I thought of that too. but I'm confused why there's a negative voltage.

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

you cannot use ground symbol when the supply (V) is connected explicitly

OpenStudy (souvik):

dont afraid of negative voltage.. V={15-(-10)} V

OpenStudy (souvik):

Agree with @rsadhvika

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rsadhvika , I got this problem in our laboratory manual.

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

-10 and 15 are the voltages seen across the resistors, and you're connecting one end of both resistors to ground

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

okay, first of all, -10 and 15 are not supply voltages, they're the voltage drops seen due to supply (V)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so total voltage is equal to 25v?

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

thats it ! if we assume that ground symbol is fake and its there just to trick us

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see. so R1 = 15V/I and R2 = 15V/I ?

OpenStudy (dls):

i guess R1 and R2 are in series?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. wrong. R2 = 15V/i and R1 = 10V/i ?

OpenStudy (souvik):

do u know the current?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. xD
