Wait, I think I got it. You're right. Rp is the net resistance and V0 has the same value as V1 and V2, which I've already calculated. Thank you so much.

Well yeah. The values for V1 and V2 are 36 V in the parallel circuit. But V0 is perpendicular to the parallel branches... So are you saying that Rp can be used to find the value for V0?

My careless mistake. So that changes things then. Since I2 = 4 A, that means: V2 = 36 V R1 = 18 Ω and Rp = 6 Ω

Well yes, I already found Rp, which is 5.4 Ω. No, I don't think I have a value for that. I just need to solve for V0. For that, I already know the current, which is 6A, but I don't know the resistance.

I need to find the value for V0. And to do that, I need to find R0.

Well now you can find V2. V2=RI V2=(9)(3) V2=27 V This means that V1=27 V as well because it's a parallel circuit. R1=V1/I1 R1=27/2 R1=13.5 Ω But what do you do now?

So would this be right? I0 = I1 + I2 I2 = 6 - 2 I2 = 3 A

Homework Statement In the following circuit solve for V0, R1 and Rp. I0 = 6 A I1 = 2 A R2 = 9 Ω Homework Equations R = V/I 1/Rp = 1/R1 + 1/R2 The Attempt at a Solution I think you need to find the total voltage first, but how?
