I need some help in finding ID and IE the actual problem and parts I have figured out are at http://quasarsvc.bizland.com/Q40.doc and assistance or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
TJ

I'm going to move this to homework help, TJ
 
TJ,
I have looked at your problem, but I am not sure what you need.
What is the objective here? Can you specify a little more? What are you supposed to do with the resistor network to the right?
 
Wheatstone

I have been able to work one problem with the wheatstone formulas but for some reason I am missing something on working another one. I know what the answer is suppose to be but for some reason I can't seem to get there. Please see the spreadsheet where I have been doing my calculations http://quasarsvc.bizland.com/WheatstoneCircuit.xls the one I am having problems with is the one on the tab Q40 - the other problem worked out correctly. I am close but not there.

Thanks
