Answer
1.5 A
Step-by-step solution
7 stepsIdentify the circuit configuration from the diagram.
It appears to be a series-parallel circuit with a voltage source at the bottom (12 V battery), two 4 Ω resistors in parallel on the upper branch, and a 6 Ω resistor in series with that combination.
Calculate the equivalent resistance of the parallel branch.
Formula:
Substitute:
Simplify:
Add the series resistor for total resistance.
Formula:
Substitute:
Calculate total current from the battery.
Formula:
Substitute:
Voltage drop across series resistor.
Formula:
Substitute:
Voltage drop across parallel branch.
Current through each parallel resistor.
Formula:
Substitute for each:
Total current = 1.5 A, V across 6 Ω = 9 V, I through each 4 Ω = 0.75 A
1.5 A
