How much current flows through R3 How much potentials across
How much current flows through R_3? How much potentials across R_7?
Solution
Here ,
R1 and R2 are in parallel
1/R4 = 1/10 + 1/15
R4 = 6 Ohm
R4 and R4 in series
R5 = 7 + 6 = 13 Ohm
for R2 and R5 in parallel
1/R8 = 1/13 + 1/20
R8 = 7.87 Ohm
Req = 7.87 + 10
Req = 17.87 Ohm
I = 9/17.87 = 0.5033 A
I7 = 20 * 0.5033/(20 + 13)
I7 = 0.305 A
potential across R7 = 0.305 * 7 = 2.14 V
current through R3 = 0.305 * 10/(10 + 15)
current through R3 = 0.122 A
the current through R3 is 0.122 A
