(a) The equivalent resistance of the circuit is 0.52 ohms.
(b) The total electric current that runs through the circuit is 40.38 A.
(c) The value of the electric current passing through the resistor of 1.0 Ohm is 21 A.
(d) The power dissipated through the 8.0 Ohm resistor is 55.13 W.
Equivalent resistance of the circuit
The equivalent resistance of the circuit is calculated as follows;
1/R = 1/(1 + 1) + 1/(2 + 2 + 2) + 1/(6) + 1/(2) + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/6 + 1/6
1/R = 1/2 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/2 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/6 + 1/6
1/R = 1 + 2/3 + 1/4
1/R = 23/12
R = 12/23
R = 0.52 ohms
Total current through the circuit
V = IR
I = V/R
I = 21/0.52
I = 40.38 A
Current through 1 ohm resistor
V = IR
I = V/R
I = 21/1
I = 21 A
Power dissipated through 8 ohm resistor
P = V²/R
P = (21)²/8
P = 55.13 W
