What is the Current at the 1.1Ω resistor?
http://imgur.com/VZzGoK8

Homework Equations


V=IR




The Attempt at a Solution



So far I have found that the Req=5.775Ω
The First Branch which contains 1.1Ω, 4.5Ω, and 10Ω has a resistance of 4.203Ω
The upper Branch has resistance 6.65Ω
The total Current I=3.1166a

How much current flows through the 3.2 Ω resistor ?

What's the voltage drop across the 3.2 Ω resistor ?
