Answer

a) $I_{1}=I_{2}=0.67A$, $I_{3}=1A$, $I_{4}=I_{5}=0.4A$ b) $V_{1}=6.7V$ $V_{2}=3.35V$ $V_{3}=10V$ $V_{4}=2V$ $V_{5}=8V$ c) $P_{1}=4.4W$ $P_{2}=2.2W$ $P_{3}=10W$ $P_{4}=0.8W$ $P_{5}=3.2W$ d) $P_{total}=21W$

Work Step by Step

a) Current in upper arm = $i_{1}=\frac{10}{R_{1}+R_{2}}=10/15=0.67A$ $i_{2}=10/10=1A$ $i_{3}=10/25=0.4A$ Thus, $I_{1}=I_{2}=0.67A$, $I_{3}=1A$, $I_{4}=I_{5}=0.4A$ b) $V_{1}=0.67\times 10=6.7V$ $V_{2}=0.67\times 5=3.35V$ $V_{3}=1\times 10=10V$ $V_{4}=0.4\times 5=2V$ $V_{5}=0.4\times 20=8V$ c) As , $P=I^{2}R$ Putting the corresponding values of i and R, $P_{1}=4.4W$ $P_{2}=2.2W$ $P_{3}=10W$ $P_{4}=0.8W$ $P_{5}=3.2W$ d) $P_{total}=4.4+2.2+10+0.8+3.2=21W$
