Part 1.

Solving for R6

Vy−Vz=13.3V −9.24 V =4.06 V =I 6∗R 6


R 6=4.06 V / 1.04 mA=3903.846154 Ohms
Solving for R8

Vz=9.24 V =R 7∗I 7=22 k∗I 7


I 7=42 uA
I 8=I 6−I 7=1.04 mA −420 uA=620 uA
R 8=9.24 V /620 uA=14903.22581Ohms
Solving for R5

Vw=18.2 V =I 6∗R5+ Vy=1.04 mA∗R 5+13.3 V =18.2 V


R 5=( 18.2 V −13.3 V ) /1.04 mA=4711.538462Ohms
Solving for I4

I 4=Vx/ R 4=6 V /6.8 k=3 /3400 A =882.35uA


Solving for R3

R 3=6V / 600 uA=10 k Ohms


Solving for R2

I 3+ I 4=I 2=3/3400 A +600 uA=63/42500 A =1.48 mA


R 2=Vw −Vx / ( I 3+ I 4 )=18.2 V −6 V / ( 63 / 42500 A )=8230.15873 Ohms
Solving for R1

R 1=(30V −18.2V )/ I 1
I 1=I 6+ I 2=63 / 42500 A +1.04 mA =134 /53125 A ≅ 2.52 mA
R 1=( 30 V −18.2 V ) / 2.52 mA =4678.171642Ohms
Part 2.

1. A short circuit fault (line to ground) on both R3 and R4 would lead to the voltage readings
below. Another fault would be an open circuit fault where there were no resistors on R3 and R4.
This is because Vx can only be 0V if it is directly connected to ground. (V = I*R, so if there were
no resistors V = Vx = 0. If the line was connected to the ground then R = 0, therefore V = Vx = 0)
2. A short circuit fault (line to ground) on both R7 and R8 would lead to the voltage readings
below. Another fault would be an open circuit fault where there were no resistors on R3 and R4.
This is because Vz can only be 0V if it is directly connected to ground. (V = I*R, so if there were
no resistors V = Vz = 0. If the line was connected to the ground then R = 0, therefore V = Vz = 0)
3. There is no fault for this voltage reading. Since every voltage node is greater than 0, there is no
fault involved.
4. A short circuit fault (line to ground) on both R3 and R4 would lead to the voltage readings
below. Another fault would be an open circuit fault where there were no resistors on R3 and R4.
This is because Vx can only be 0V if it is directly connected to ground. (V = I*R, so if there were
no resistors V = Vx = 0. If the line was connected to the ground then R = 0, therefore V = Vx = 0)
