Homework Equations



series - Ra+Rb

parallel - 1/[(1/Ra)+(1/Rb)]

The Attempt at a Solution



Im positive that R1,R2 y R3 are parallel, but also (R5+R8), R9 and (R10+R4) right? is R7 parallel to anything? which ones would be series? so confusing... thankies :]

Yes

These 3 branches are parallel branches.
is R7 parallel to anything?
R7 is not. It is in series with a voltage source.
which ones would be series? so confusing..
Two branches are in series if [all of] the current that flows through one also then flows through the other.
