Step 1
Since the question does not provide a diagram, we'll assume a simple series circuit with the resistors (R1, R2, R3, R4) connected in series and a single voltage source (E) of 6V. This assumption is based on the information given and the requirement to use Mesh Show more…

In the circuit of the following diagram, determine the current in each resistor, if ε₁ = 24V, ε₂ = 12V, R₁ = 28Ω, R₂ = 12Ω, R₃ = 16Ω.

For the circuit shown below, find the current through the RL=R2=1̦ resistor (Ia-b) branch using Norton's theorem and calculate the voltage across the current source Vcg. Check your answer using Thevenin's theorem.

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: $$ I=I_{2}+I_{5}+I_{8}=20 \mathrm{~A}+8.0 \mathrm{~A}+5.0 \mathrm{~A}=33 \mathrm{~A} $$
