SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the current through resistor R1 in a parallel circuit with a total current of 4.06A. The user has successfully applied the Delta to Star transformation but is uncertain about how to derive the voltage across R1 to use Ohm's Law (I = V/R). The recommended approach is to utilize equivalent circuit analysis following the Delta to Star transformation to find the necessary voltage for accurate current calculation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ohm's Law (I = V/R)
  • Familiarity with Delta to Star transformation techniques
  • Basic knowledge of parallel circuit analysis
  • Experience with equivalent circuit concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of Delta to Star transformation in circuit analysis
  • Learn how to calculate voltage across components in parallel circuits
  • Explore equivalent circuit methods for simplifying complex circuits
  • Review advanced techniques for analyzing current distribution in parallel circuits
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, circuit designers, and anyone involved in circuit analysis and design who needs to understand current distribution in parallel circuits.

I already got the total current that I did doing the Delta / star . what I got is 4.06 for total current, now is asking me to get the current of R1 , I know I have to get the voltage in order to get the current that is I = V/R but I don't have any idea how to get the voltage when is parallel I am lost somebody can help me please! :(

What circuit analysis techniques are have you been introduced to?
 
You can determine IR1 by using equivalent ciruit after u transform delta-->star
