Consider
the statement: 3x + 6 = 18
This is an equation. It means that the
left hand side is equal to (i.e. the same
value as) the right hand side.
Solving Equations
Solving
Given
that Rf = R0 (1 + t)
Find Rf when R0 = 100 =
0.004/oC and t = 35oC
Rf = R0 (1 + t)
= 100 (1 + 0.14)
= 100 (1.14)
= 100 x 1.14
= 114
the formula: RT = R1 + R2
Make R1 the subject of the formula
Take R2 from each side gives
RT
R2 = R1 + R2 R2
RT R 2 = R 1
i.e. R1 = RT R2

same as V = IR
Dividing both sides by R
V = I x R

Calculate
Solution
V

12V = I x 3 Divide both sides by 3
12V = I x 3

4A = I
Hence I = 4A
Example 4
Consider
P=E

Solve for E
Multiply both sides by t well achieve
P x t = E x 1

P x t = E
i.e. E = P x t
