determine the value of the current

To
in branch DE in Figure given.
Following the step below :
STEP 1
First , remove the

STEP 2
Second , Find Vth by using KVL
formula
= -

STEP 3
Using formula voltage divider to
find and.
i) = 2V

= 2V

= 1.5V
ii) = 2V

= 2V

= 2V

= 0.4 V

STEP 4
Finally , the value of Vth can be
obtained by using KVL formula :
= -
= 1.5 V 0.4V
= 1.1 V
STEP 5
Find the value of
= + // )
+ // ) ]
= 1.43 + [(20+2.86//5.71)+
= 1.43+ [ +7.5]
= 1.43+ 4.57+7.5
=13.5

FINAL STEP
To obtain the
current at using
formula of :

= 20.56mA
