Answer this question

Yesterday, I faced an interview. The interviewer asked the question....

Que. The parallel combination of a 470 resistor and a 1.5 k resistor is in series with the parallel combination of five 1 k resistors. The source voltage is 50 V. What will be the percentage of the load current through any single 1 k resistor?

This is a very easy question. It's just (not very well) disguised as a hard one. I think its actually quite a good question to test somones understanding of electrical theory.

I'd say , " what the hell are you asking me this for ? the job is for asda for gods sake"
:-D

yeah. but the question asda be asked.

Reading this thread I really wished I had paid more attention when at college they gave us the 35 minute training course on electronics .........but at the time I was too busy training to be a rag a**e to take much notice of these piddling pesky little things...................... top answers there lads

Are you stating it in series or parallel, Malc ?:smilewinkgrin:

Here's a spreadsheet (open office and excel formats) so you can play around with the component values and see the effects on the voltage and current for each component. Hopefully self explanitory. Might help visualise what's going on.

I thought that too, if actually it was a verbal question, sounds complicated but really easy. It would show if the interviewee is really listening.

Could easily extend that for RLC ccts, I'm sure those questions will be coming.
