Circuit Analysis -- Resistors and a battery
Hello, if you see the attached I am trying to find the current I4.My plan was to find Voltage across R4 and use Ohm's law.
V=IR
I have simplified the circuit down(attached pic), I thought I could use the voltage divider equation to find voltage across R4||R6 which would be equal to the voltage across R4 however I'm getting a different answer
I got 50*(3.197/(3.197+4.7)) =20V making I4= 2mA
