Homework Statement
The following circuit is given, and all voltage, current, resistance and power must be found for each resistor.
I have found the following information:
Vsrc = ?
Isrc = .5A
Rsrc = ?
Psrc = ?
V1 = ?
I1 = .5A
R1 = ?
P1 = ?
V2 = 2.5V
I2 = .25A
R2 = 10
P2 = .625W
V3 = 2.5V
I3 = .25A
R3 = 10
P3 = .625W
V4 = 5V
I4 = .25A
R4 = 20
P4 = 1.125W
How would I solve for the information of R1?

V = IR
The Attempt at a Solution
I originally had thought that V1 is 5V, as the current is the same as the simplified parallel section. If the voltage from the cells is constant, and half of the circuit uses 5V, then I had assumed the other section would use 5V as well, as both currents are the same.
