Homework Statement

How would you calculate the voltage at a specific resistor given that it's a parallel circuit.

Hi Gardalay! Welcome to PF!

Use Kirchhoff's rules to find the current through it, and then use Ohm's law

(but what exactly is the question?)

 

[Gardalay]

If the 25ohm resistor in figure19-39 were shorted out, what then would be the current through the 10ohm resistor?

 

[tiny-tim]

Call the currents through each section i₁ i₂ i₃ etc, and apply Kirchhoff's rules …

what do you get? ​

 

[Gardalay]

I got 7.14amps with the 25ohm resistor and 6.9amps without the 25ohm resistor.

Show your calculations if you want us to check them!

ok, i finally got this figured out, thanks for the help
