Question

A circuit consists of 3 identical ideal batteries, each with voltage V, and three identical resistors, each with resistance R. They are arranged in four parallel branches as follows:
the top branch contains one battery with the positive terminal pointing to the left,
the middle branches each contain one battery, with the positive terminal pointing left, connected in series with a resistor on the right (since these branches are identical, they have equal current),
the bottom branch contains one resistor.
Find the current through each branch as a function of V and R.
Itop =
Imiddle =
Ibottom =

Explanation / Answer

Itop = Ibottom = V/R
Imiddle = 0
