Q.6) [15 marks] Program Writing

R1a R2a R3a R4a

R1b R2b R3b R4b

R1c R2c R3c R4c

Figure 1

The circuit in Figure 1 is a series parallel circuit. The total resistance of any one branch is
RTb1 = R1a + R1b + R1c , RTb1 = Total branch 1 resistance in ohms
RTb2 = R2a + R2b + R2c , RTb2 = Total branch 2 resistance in ohms
RTb3 = R3a + R3b + R3c , RTb3 = Total branch 3 resistance in ohms
RTb4 = R4a + R4b + R4c , RTb4 = Total branch 4 resistance in ohms

Where, all resistors values are in ohms

7
Computing Systems and Programming FINAL ECE 1113

The total resistance of any parallel branch is found by first determining the total resistance
of that branch and then using the parallel resistance formula for finding the total resistance.
The formula is
RT = 1/(1/ RTb1 + 1/ RTb2 + 1/ RTb3 + RTb4)

Where
RT = Total resistance in ohms
RTb1 , RTb2 , RTb3 and RTb4 are total branch resistance in ohms

Write a program to ask a user to input the values of all resistors for all branches. Input the
values in 1-D array, each array for each branch. You are required to
a. Write a programmer defined function to calculate for the total resistance of each
branch. Print the result to the screen using the main function.
b. Write another programmer defined function to calculate for the total parallel
resistance using the parallel resistance formula. Print the result to the screen using
the main function.
c. Ask the user whether he/she wants to enter for new values of resistance, in which
case you have to calculate for the new total resistance of each branch and the new
total parallel resistance, and print the results to the screen.
