For the circuit shown below, let V40 = 6V, I40 = 1.3A, R40 = 9.3 Ω, and R50 = 29.9 Ω. Find i1 and i2.

In the following circuit, V1 = 98 V and V2 = 78 V and R1 = 32 Ω and R2 = 11 Ω and R3 = 29 Ω and R4 = 9 Ω and R5 = 28 Ω Find the current labelled I1
Supratim P.
For the circuit shown find the current in each resistor and the current drawn from the 40 - $V$ source. Notice that the p.d. from $a$ to $b$ is $40 \mathrm{~V}$. Therefore, the p.d. across each resistor is $40 \mathrm{~V}$. Then, $$ I_{2}=\frac{40 \mathrm{~V}}{2.0 \Omega}=20 \mathrm{~A} \quad I_{5}=\frac{40 \mathrm{~V}}{5.0 \Omega}=8.0 \mathrm{~A} \quad I_{8}=\frac{40 \mathrm{~V}}{8.0 \Omega}=5.0 \mathrm{~A} $$ Because $I$ splits into three currents: $$ I=I_{2}+I_{5}+I_{8}=20 \mathrm{~A}+8.0 \mathrm{~A}+5.0 \mathrm{~A}=33 \mathrm{~A} $$
