Explanation / Answer

Rnet = 10 ohms

1) Ia = V/Rnet

= 9/10

= 0.9 A

2) Va = Ia*Ra

= 0.9*5

= 4.5 volts


3) Ib = Ia*10/(10+10)

= 0.9/2

= 0.45 A

4) vB = Ib*Rb

= 0.45*10

= 4.5volts

5) Ic = Ia*10/(10+10)

= 0.9/2

= 0.45 A

6) vC = IC*Rc

= 0.45*5

= 2.25volts

7) Id = Ia*10/(10+10)

= 0.9/2

= 0.45 A

8) vd = Id*Rd

= 0.45*5

= 2.25volts
