we got solved for IT and RT but we are confused as to what to do next
So solve the easy ones first, V11 and V10
ok makes sense let me do it rq
Then consider the parallel system of R1 and R2
We need the total resistance of this parallel section
so for v10 its 29.6 and for v11 its 100.64
so r3456789 we got 15.5 for it
15.6*
Do you guys know that we can treat the parallel system R1 and R2 as 1 resistor?
ya
yes
cus they converge at the end right
So u combine them and make it a single residtor with 8 ohms?
Yeah exactly
So you can find the total voltage the system uses
Since it gets the total current
ok so we finding v1 and v2 correct
Yes
v12
V1 = V2
oh ya
So V1 = V2 = 2.96*8
ok so we do 200 - 23.68 to see how much voltage goes into the other branches
Wait not yet
And also minus V11 and V10
wait so is v12 = v1 = v2?
Yeah
so we do 200 - 23.68 - 100.64 - 29.6
I think so
It doesn’t seem too hard, it’s just lengthy
So you check that if you multiply It by the total resistance of the other parallel system
its hard to us😭
ok so we got
Where you at now?
Our teacher is horrible

Did you get like 52.31
we got 46.08
So V3 + V4 = Vt, And V5 + V6 + V7 = Vt, and V8 + V9 = Vt
Sorry not vt
Each branch has the same voltage, you can calculate current then use V = IR to get the voltage of each component
For which one?
Treating each path as a series circuit
like in general after we find the remeaning volatge going to each branch which was 46.08
So you know how current is the same in series circuits
ya
So V3 V4 V5 V6 V7 V8 V9 all equal 46.08
So V3= V4= V5= V6= V7= V8= V9 all equal 46.08
The sum of voltages for Each path
Not all paths
Ahhh alr
ok got it
If you want to learn yourself, simply watch the conversation.
?
So you can calculate the current, you can divide the voltage by the total resistance
we are in the same class working on it together
But we dont have the velocities
does I34 = It?
Hm?
What is the next step im a lil confusd
i am as well
Ok let's focus on the first branch
Okay
What's the total resistance of the first branch
30?
30
So what's the current in the first branch
23.68/30?
voltage??
We got 46.08 as the voltage going into each branch right guys?
OHHHH
yes
so we do 46.08 / 30
1.536
So 134=1.536
Yeah
And 1567 = 46.08 divided bu the total resistance of I567
Yeah I think it does sum to It
but i got 1.426 instead of i3 which is 1.536
U wrote sum wronh
Wait guys
I1=I2= i presume
yea
Not sure ngl
im guessing its the same as iT?
Im pretty sure I12= I1+I2
i1 and i2 are differennt values
ya
So we dont have to solve for I1 and I2 individually
Ohh
Wait, what did you get as I for the whole circuit?
2.96
2.96
Same
i see
This is what we have so far
I12 would just be It wouldn't it?
correct
He js tryna trick us
the teacher
You got the current in each branch, and the resistance of each component
How do you get voltage
v = IR
Yeah
WE SEE I GOT IT
I think you guys already calculated the resistances
R12 is basically the resistance of the parallel circuit R1 R2 I think
Alr
ok ya i think we got it
Yeah i think we’re finished
OK THANKS SO MUCH
Np
Thank u so much deadass bro
genuienly thank you
ratgobbler i will never forget you
We wouldve been cooked without u 💔
😭😭😭😭
