Explanation / Answer

Eq Resistance of C & D, Rcd = Rc + Rd = 5 + 5 = 10 ohm

Eq Resistance of B & Rcd, Rbcd = 10 * 10 / (10 + 10) = 5 ohm

Eq Resistance of circut, Req = Ra + Rbcd = 5 + 5 = 10 ohm

V = i * Req
i = 10/10 = 1 Amp

1.)
Current through the resistor a = 1 Amp
Potential difference across resistor a = 1 * 5 = 5V


2.)
Current through the resistor b = 0.5 Amp
Potential difference across resistor b = 0.5 * 10 = 5V

3.)
Current through the resistor c = 0.5 Amp
Potential difference across resistor c = 0.5 * 5 = 2.5V

4.)
Current through the resistor d = 0.5 Amp
Potential difference across resistor d = 0.5 * 5 = 2.5V
