2.31 For the circuit in Fig. 2.95, determine i1 to i5.

Solution :
Given
E = 200V
R1 = 3Ω , R2 = 4Ω , R3 = 1Ω, R4 = 2 Ω
TO FIND
I2 = ? , I5 = ?
We take the Req of R3 and R4 as they are connected in parallel configuration.
1/ Req = 1/1 + 1/ 2
Req = 0.667 Ω
Now, I4 and I5 are reduced to I3
Again , since 0.667 Ω and 4 Ω are connected in parallel configuration we take
their Req
1/ Req = 1/0.667 + 1/4
Req = 0.57 Ω
Now the 3 Ω and 0.57 Ω are connected ins series we simply add them .
3+ 0.57 = 3.57 Ω
Now by using the ohms law we can calculate the I1 of the circuit
I1 = V/R
= 200/ 3.57
= 56 A
 By using the current division we can find the I2
0.66
I2 = 0.66+4 × I 1

0.66
= 0.66+4 × 56

I2 = 8 A
By applying the Kirchhoff current law we can find the I3
I1 = I2+I3
56 = 8 + I3
I3 = 48 A
By using the current division we can find the I4
2
I4 = 2+ 1
×I3

2
= 2+ 1 × 48

I4 = 32 A
By applying the Kirchhoff current law we can find the I5
I3= I4 + I5
48= 32+ I5
I5 = 16A

Solution :
 Given :
E = 200V
R1 = 20 Ω , R2 =28 Ω ,R3 = 60 Ω ,R4 = 160 Ω ,R5 = 160 Ω , R6 = 80 Ω , R7=
52 Ω ,R8= 20 Ω.

Since the resistor 20 , 60, 80 are connected in series we combined them

20+60+80 = 160 Ω
Now 160 Ω and 160 Ω are in parallel configuration we combined them
Req ( R+Re) = 1/160+1/160
= 1/80
= 80 Ω
Since the resistor 28 , 52 , 80 are connected in series we combined them
28+52+80 = 160 Ω
Now 160 Ω and 160 Ω are in parallel configuration we combined them
Req ( R+Re) = 1/160+1/160
= 1/80
= 80 Ω
Since the resistor 20 , 80 are connected in series we combined them
20+80= 100 Ω
Therefore the equivalent resistance by source is 100 Ω
Now, by using the ohms law we can calculate the I of the circuit
I= V/Req
= 200/ 100
I = 2A
The overall power absorbed by the resistive network is as follows:
P = I2R
 = ( 2)2(100)
= 400 W

Solution

Given:
E= 20V

Now we see that the resistors 50 Ω, 30 Ω are connected in series we combined

them.
50 + 30 = 80 Ω
Now 20 Ω and 60 Ω are in parallel configuration we combined them
1/ Req = 1/20+ 1/60
= 15Ω
Now we see that the resistors 15 Ω, 25 Ω are connected in series we combined
them.
15+25= 40 Ω
Now 20 Ω and 80 Ω are in parallel configuration we combined them
1/ Req =1/20+ 1/80
 = 16 Ω
Now we see that the resistors 16 Ω, 24 Ω are connected in series we combined
them.
16+24= 40 Ω
Now 40 Ω and 40 Ω are in parallel configuration we combined them
1/ Req =1/40+ 1/40
= 20 Ω
Now we see that the resistors 20 Ω, 80 Ω are connected in series we combined
them.
20+80= 100 Ω
Now, by using the ohms law we can calculate the I of the circuit
I= V/Req
= 20/100
= 200mA
Since the two branch resistances are equal i.e. 40 Ω, 40 Ω , therefore current also
divide equally i.e. 100mA.
By using the current division we can find the IR30
20
IR30 = 20+80
× 100 mA

= 20mA
By using the ohms law the Voltage V0 can be find out
V0 = IR30 (R)
= 20 (30mA)
= 0.6 Volts

Calculate the value of R3
 R3 = (Rb)(Rc)/Ra +Rb +Rc

= 5Ω
Calculate the Equivalent resistance of the branch Rcb
Rcb = R1 +(R3 + 10) || (R3+20)
= 5+ (12.5||25)
= 5+8.333
= 13.333 Ω
Calculate the Equivalent resistance of the Rab
Rab = 30||Rcb
= 30||13.333
=1/30+1/13.333
= 9.231 Ω
B.

SOLUTION

Now we transform the star to the delta connection

Calculate the value of R1
R1 = Ra.Rb +Rb.Rc + Ra.Rc / Rc
= 10(20) + 10(5)+20(5)/ 5
= 70 Ω
Calculate the value of R2
R2 = Ra.Rb +Rb.Rc + Ra.Rc / Ra
= 10(20) + 10(5)+20(5)/ 10
= 35 Ω
Calculate the value of R3
R2 = Ra.Rb +Rb.Rc + Ra.Rc / Rb
= 10(20) + 10(5)+20(5)/ 20
= 17.5 Ω
Redraw the diagram,
Calculate the Equivalent resistance Rab
Rab = 25 ( 17.5+||[(30||70) +(35||15)])
= 25 ( 17.5 + [21+10.5])
= 25 (17.5||31.5)
= 25+11.25
= 36.25 Ω
Hence the equivalent resistance at terminal a-b is 36.25 Ω
