Explanation / Answer

a)

here

the R4 , R5 and R6 are in series

Ra = R4 + R5 + R6

Ra = 56 + 83 + 72 = 211 ohm

b)

R3 in parallel with Ra

therefore

Rb = 1 / (1 / R3 + 1 / Ra)

Rb = 1 / (1 / R3 + 1 / (R1 + R2 + R3))

Rb = 1 / ( 1 / 33 + 1 / 211)

Rb = 28.53 ohm

c)

R1 , R2 and Rb in series

therefore

Req = R1 + R2 + Rb

Req = R1 + R2 + 1 / (1 / R3 + 1 / (R1 + R2 + R3))

d)

Req = 17 + 55 + 28.53

Re = 100.53 ohm

e)

by using ohms law

delta V = I * Req

f)

delta V = 19.5 * 100.53

delta V = 1960.335 volts
