Determine the current through each resistor and the voltage
Solution
R3 and R5 are in series. henc equivalent resistor of these two is R\' then
R\' = R3 + R5 = 30 + 50 = 80 ohm
now R\' and R4 are in parallel connection,
1/R\" = 1/R\' + 1/R4 = 1/80 + 1/40
R\" = 80/3 Ohm
now R\" and R6 are in series,
R\'\" = 80/3 + 60 = 260/3 ohm
now R\'\" and R2 are in parallel connection,
1/R\"\" = 3/260 + 1/20
R\"\" = 16.25 ohm
now R\"\", R1 and R7 are in series,
Req = 16.25 + 10 + 70 = 96.25 Ohm .........Ans
Current through battery, I = V / Req = 100 / 96.25 = 1.04 A
current through R1, I1 = I = 1.04 A
V1 = I1 R1 = 10.4 Volt
I7 = 1.04 A
V7 = 72.8 Volt
V2 = V - V1 - V7 = 16.8 Volt
I2 = 16.8/20 = 0.84 A
I6 = 1.04 - 0.84 = 0.20 A
V6 = 12 Volt
V4 = 16.8 -12 = 4.8 Volt
I4 = 4.8/40 = 0.12 A
I3 = I5 = 0.20 - 0.12 = 0.08 A
V3 = 0.08 x 30 = 2.4 Volt
V5 = 0.08 x 50 = 4 Volt
