Solution

equivalent resistance is,

   Req = R1 + 1/(1/R2 + 1/R3 + 1/R4 + 1/R5)

Req = 711 + 1/( 1/482 + 1/763 + 1/434 + 1/565)

Req = 845.06 ohm

current iE = 15/845.06 = 0.01775 A

voltage, V\' = 15 - 0.01775*711 = 2.38 V

current, iD = iH = 2.38/565 = 0.0042 A

currents, iC = iG = 2.38/434 + 0.0042 = 0.009695 A

current, iA = 2.38/482 = 0.00494 A

current, iB = 2.38/763 + 0.00494 = 0.008059 A

current, iF = 0.009695 + 2.38/763 = 0.012814 A
