Solution
Let's analyze the given circuit step by step to find the current .
Steps to solve:
-
Identify resistors in series and parallel:
- The two resistors and are in series.
- The combination of these two resistors is in parallel with the voltage source.
-
Equivalent Resistance of Series Resistors:
- The total resistance of resistors in series is simply the sum of their individual resistances:
-
Resistors in Parallel with the Battery:
- The resistors (combined from the series) and the battery can be treated as a parallel part of the circuit.
-
Calculate Total Equivalent Resistance:
- The total circuit involves other resistors like the resistor at the top, the two resistors on each side. Let's simplify the circuit step by step using parallel and series combinations.
