3. Find the currents in the figure below if R-1.0 and AV-10 volts. 2.4 : 9.0
Solution
R and 9 ohms are in parallel
1/R1 =1/9 + 1/1
R1=0.9 ohms
0.9 and 2.4 ohms are in series
R2=0.9+2.4 =3.3 ohms
3.3 and R=1 ohms are in parallel
1/R3 = 1/1+1/3.3
R3=0.76744 ohms
R,R and R3 are in series ,so equivalent resistance is
Req=1+1+0.76744 =2.76744 ohms
So Total Current flowing in the circuit is
I=V/Req=10/2.76744
I=3.6 A
SO current through each resistor is
I1=I=3.6 A
By Current divider rule
I2=I1*(R2/R+R2)=3.6*(3.3/3.3+1)
I2=2.77 A
So
I3=I1-I2 =3.6-2.77 =0.83 A
I4=I3*(9/9+1) =0.83*0.9 =0.747 A
I5=0.83-0.747 =0.083 A
