1.) Calculate the following combination circuit of Series and Parallel and reduce the circuit to
achieve the total resistance of the circuit. [10 pts.]

 Calculate the total current of the following circuit?

 Calculate the total power of the following circuit?
 Calculate the voltage which measures across?
 Calculate the power that flows across?
a.) In a Series Circuit explain how the current flows in the circuit?
b.) In a Parallel Circuit explain how the voltage flows across the braches of each circuit?
 2.) Calculate the following Combination Circuit in the following problem analysing the
change in Series and Parallel.

Calculate the following:

IT = find total current RT = find total resistance E1 = voltage one

I3 = current 3 I2 = current 2 I4 = current 4 I5 = current 5 I6 = current 6 I7 = current 7

3.)
4.) The voltage divider is a consequence of the KVL and is applied in circuits with elements in series,
serves to find the voltage within a set of resistors in series, its general expression will be:

a.) In respect to the above question, demonstrate the formula of the Voltage Divider rule?

b.) Explain the theoretical regulations for analysing the Voltage Divider formula?

5.) The following expression is a consequence of the first law of Kirchhoff and the law of Ohm, serves to
find the current inside a set of resistors in parallel, for example in the case of the figure shown, we will
have:

Gn
in  is n
 Gi

See how we can calculate the currents by the two branches R2 and R3 connected in parallel, using this
divider, if we know the current that enters the node from which the parallel branches split.

a.) In respect to the above question, demonstrate the formula of the Current Divider rule?

b.) Explain the theoretical regulations for analysing the Current Divider formula?
