Find the equivalent resistance, total current and the currentand voltage for eac

Question

Find the equivalent resistance, total current and the currentand voltage for each resistor in the curcuit below. Find the equivalent resistance, total current and the current and voltage for each resistor in the circuit below.

Explanation / Answer

the 3 ohm and 1 ohm resistors are in parallel. They combinedresistance is 3/4 ohms. Equivalent resistance = 4+2+3//1 = 4+2+3/4 = 6.75ohms voltage across the 2 ohm resistor => 2*18/ ( 4 +2 + 3/4) =5.333V Voltage across the 4ohm resistor => 4*18 /( 4+2+3/4) =10.6667V voltage across the 3/4 combination resistor = 3/4*18/(2+4+3/4) =2V Voltage across the 3 and 1 ohm resistor should be 2V sincethey are in parallel. Current going through the 2ohm resistor = 5.333/2 = 2.6665A Current going through the 4ohm resistor = 10.66667/4 = 2.6666A Current going through the 3ohm resistor = 2/3 = 0.666A Current going through the 2 ohm resistor = 2A I hope it helps.
