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

Circuit schematic with an 18.0 V battery in the bottom left. Resistors: 6.9 Ω and 6.9 Ω in parallel, then 3.2 Ω in series at the top right, 1.1 Ω in series, 4.5 Ω and 10.0 Ω in parallel, and 3.2 Ω at the bottom right.


How much current flows through the 3.2 Ω resistor ?

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