SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating resistance, current, and voltage in a circuit with four resistors: R1=6Ω, R2=5Ω, R3=8Ω, and R4=12Ω. The user calculated the currents as I1=0.30A, I2=0.24A, I3=0.06A, and I4=0.06A, with corresponding voltages V1=1.8V, V2=1.2V, V3=0.48V, and V4=0.72V. The user expressed uncertainty about the voltage across R3 and the total resistance, prompting requests for clarification on the initial data provided for the circuit.

PREREQUISITES

Moved from a technical forum, so homework template missing
so for resistance I've gotten r1=6 r2=5 r3=8 and r4=12. then for current i got r1-.30 r2=.24 r3=.06 r4=.06 amd volatge r1=1.8 r2=1.2 r3=.48 r4=.72. I am not sure about my voltage for r3 what i did was Vt-r1-r4 and when i add them up i get 3v so that should be right? and I am also not sure about resistance total or my r3 for my r3 i did...
R3=V3/I3=.48V/.06A=8 is all my information right?

Yikes, I tried processing your image, and it's still really hard for me to read... Can you say in words what it shows?

We need to know what data the problem came with. It is difficult to tell the difference between what you were given and what you have calculated.
