voltage and current calculation on a mixed circuit
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
I have the following circuit ![]() R1 = 22 ohm, R2 = 39, R3 = 82, R4 = 100,R5 = 10 and V = 2volt I'm asked to calculate the voltage and current over de resistors when the switch is open and when the switch is closed 2. Relevant equations when 2 resistors form a combination the current is the same and V = IR when 2 resistors are in parallell there voltages are the same and Ii = V/Ri 3. The attempt at a solution well when the switch is open I obtain the following the resistors R1 and R4 form a combination and so do R2 and R3 the voltage remains equal for both combinations so we can easily calculate the current I1=I4 = 2v/(22+100)ohm = 0.016 A now we find the voltage over both resistors V1= 0.016 * 22 = 0.361 Volt v4 = 0.016 * 100 Same way for I2 and I3 But I'm stuck when the switch is closed how do I calculate the current and voltage then ? |

It might be well to read up on "Delta-Wye" transformations.
