Solutions

Expert Solution

a) resistors b , c and d are in parallel ,
1 /Rbcd   = 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5
Rbcd = 1.67 Ohm
R eq = Rbcd + Ra = 6.67 Ohm
I = V / Rq = 10 / 6.67 = 1.5 A    ....Ans

b) V = RI = 5 x 1.5 = 7.5 V

c) current 1.5 A goes in all three parrallel b, c &d resistor .
It divides equally among all three as all three have same resistance.
I = 1.5/3 = 0.5 A

d) V = RI = 5 x 0.5 = 2.5 Volt

e) Ic = 0.5 A

f) Vc = 2.5 V

g) Id = 0.5 A

h) Vd = 2.5 V
