Calculate
the Total Resistance
Combine all the resistors in series in the
branch
R3 + R4 = 3.00 ohms + 1.00 ohms = 4.00
ohms
Combine this with the parallel resistor
( (2.00 ohms)-1 + (4.00 ohms)-1 )-1
= 1.33 ohms
Combine all the resistors in series
1.33 ohms + 2.00 ohms + 1.00 ohms =
4.33 ohms = RT
V = IR = 2.00 amps x 4.33 ohms =
8.66 volts
