Homework Statement
don't mind my cruddy drawing :P
R1 to R3 = 1000 Ω
R4 to R5 = 2000 Ω
i1 = 1mA= 1x10-3A
Find the current through each resistor.
Homework Equations
parallel Rp = (sum)(1/Ri)-1
series Rs = (sum)(Ri))
ΔV=iR
The Attempt at a Solution
i'm not sure of the best way to star this one because it is a little awkward to me. I thought the best way to do it would be to find Equivalent Resistance, but I have no idea how to do that with this geometry.
i know current at the start equals the end. each loop from start to finish ends in 0 potential0 = ΔV -i2R1 - i5R2 - i6R3
0 = ΔV -i2R1 - i4R5
0= ΔV - i3R4 - i6R3
i1 = i2 + i3
thanks
