Simplifying a circuit w/ multiple resistors & current source

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on simplifying a circuit containing multiple resistors and a current source. The user seeks clarification on the configuration of specific resistors: whether the 20 and 10-ohm resistors are in series, if the top 20-ohm resistor is in parallel with the 20 and 10-ohm resistors, and whether the 10 and 40-ohm resistors are in series. The responses emphasize the importance of clear image sharing for effective troubleshooting and analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic circuit theory
  • Knowledge of series and parallel resistor configurations
  • Familiarity with Ohm's Law
  • Ability to interpret circuit diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Study series and parallel resistor combinations in detail
  • Learn about circuit simplification techniques
  • Explore tools for circuit simulation, such as LTspice
  • Review Ohm's Law applications in complex circuits
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, hobbyists working on circuit design, and anyone looking to enhance their understanding of resistor configurations in circuits.

Homework Statement


I am given this circuit:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=ac16233c7c&view=fimg&th=157871927bfab85f&attid=0.3&disp=inline&safe=1&attbid=ANGjdJ_NBCzBtsxNBxpVBZxZYQhZBjV1KlRTvTIVWx8ywfyYGYgtKpez7JOOWa_t8GbsfP3Hp9ODP0iatO0VG1zN1WomVMiLbznnfU2kAs3svgcsod_Y94bTkZdEMYI&ats=1475440357233&rm=157871927bfab85f&zw&sz=w1366-h643

And told to simplify it to the maximum.

This is my final result. I was wondering 3 things:
1. Are the 20 and 10 resistors in series
2. Is the 20 resistor on top in parallel with the 20 and the 10
3. Are the 10 and 40 resistors in series[/B]
