(1)
\Step 1:
\Observe the circuit.
\The resistors and
are in series.
Resultant resistance is .
Substitute and
in above expression.
Resultant series resistance is .
Above resultant comes parallel with .
Therefore,
\Resultant resistance is .
Substitute and
in above expression.
Total resistance of the circuit is .
(2)
\Step 1:
\The is connected in parallel with source of
.
Thus, the voltage through the resistor is
.
Ohms law: .
Find the current passing through the resistor .
Current passing through the resistor is
.
\
(3)
\Step 1:
\Resultant series resistance of and
is
.
Voltage passing through the is also
.
Find the current throgh the resistance .
Ohms law: .
Substitute and
in
.
.
Since
\(4)
\Step 1:
\Find the total curent passing through the circuit.
\From the results of (2) and (3), we have and
.
.
Solution :
\Total resistance of the circuit between and
is
.
