In 2002, the NEC Earth Simulator located in Japan was the fastest supercomputer.
As of now, the IBM BlueGene is the fastest supercomputer. #2. You have 3 resistors in a parallel circuit. -The power source is 17.299v. -R1 is 680 ohms. -R2 is 1500 ohms. -R3 is 470 ohms. Knowing this information, calculate the following: RT (resistance total) IT (current total) IR1 (current passing through R1) IR2 (current passing through R2) IR3 (current passing through R3) VR1 (voltage passing through R1) VR2 (voltage passing through R2) VR3 (voltage passing through R3) PT (power total) PR1 (power passing through R1) PR2 (power passing through R2) PR3 (power passing through R3) Last edited by Clutch; 07-06-2006 at 06:59 PM. |

The formula to calculate the RT is: (1/(1/R1+1/R2+1/R3)) So to input the numbers into the formula would make it as shown: (1/(1/680+1/1500+1/470)) = as apj101 said, 234.47 Ohms. |
