Experts please: DC CIRCUIT (PARALLEL-SERIES CIRCUIT) QUESTION

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving a DC circuit problem involving parallel and series components, emphasizing the application of Kirchhoff's circuit laws. Participants highlight the importance of accurately diagramming the circuit to facilitate correct calculations. The original poster (OP) is encouraged to share their attempted solution for more effective assistance. The conversation underscores that shortcuts are not viable in this context, particularly due to the circuit's complexity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Kirchhoff's circuit laws
  • Basic knowledge of DC circuit analysis
  • Ability to interpret circuit diagrams
  • Familiarity with series and parallel circuit configurations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) and Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL)
  • Practice circuit analysis using various circuit simulation tools
  • Learn to create and analyze circuit diagrams effectively
  • Explore advanced topics in DC circuit theory, such as Thevenin's and Norton's theorems
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, hobbyists working on circuit design, and professionals involved in circuit analysis and troubleshooting will benefit from this discussion.

1. Find the reading of the ammeter



2. I've 2 questions here:
Link to the Attachement please,thx.



3. I had made a simplified diagram, but wasn't sure of the calculation.

Help me out with a complete explanation please~! Thx so much!

Show your attempted solution and you'll get help.

Hint: Use Kirchhoff's circuit laws
 
your simplified diagram is wrong. use kirchhoffs law, there is no shortcut, as it is neither a wheatsotone bridge nor symmetrical circuit.
 
Note the OP was nearly 2 years ago.

Hopefully he has arrived at a solution by now.
