Summary:: Solving series-parallel circuits using current and voltage divider rule
For the attached circuit, I need to determine the voltage drop across R4 using the voltage divider rule.
So far, I have determined total resistance to be R = 383Ω, total current I = 0.03A, and I3 = 0.023A.
I think these are correct.
I then get V through R1 and R2 to be 2.97V, therefore V for the rest of the circuit is 9.03V. Then the voltage for AB should be 9.03V.
Then V for R4 and R5 would be V ab (R45/(R45 + R3) = 9.03 x (41/371) = 1V.
I'm not sure if my methods and calculations are correct as this is very confusing
