Question

I need to find the current resistance and voltage for each in this complicated circuit plz help

Answer 1

Explanation:

The 11Ω, 22Ω, and 33Ω resistors are in parallel.  That combination is in series with the 4Ω and 10Ω resistors.

The net resistance is:

R = 4Ω + 10Ω + 1/(1/11Ω + 1/22Ω + 1/33Ω)

R = 20Ω

Using Ohm's law, we can find the current going through the 4Ω and 10Ω resistors:

V = IR

120 V = I (20Ω)

I = 6 A

So the voltage drops are:

V = (4Ω) (6A) = 24 V

V = (10Ω) (6A) = 60 V

That means the voltage drop across the 11Ω, 22Ω, and 33Ω resistors is:

V = 120 V − 24 V − 60 V

V = 36 V

So the currents are:

I = 36 V / 11 Ω = 3.27 A

I = 36 V / 22 Ω = 1.64 A

I = 36 V / 33 Ω = 1.09 A

If we wanted to, we could also show this using Kirchhoff's laws.
