Explanation / Answer

HERE WE OBSERVED 6 and 4 ohms are series connection

the resistance rs=6+4=10 ohms

the resistance Rs and 15 ohms are parallel connection

resistance Rp=10*15/10+15=6 ohms

the resistance Rp and 6 ohms are series connection

the equivalent resistance Req=6+6=12 ohms

now we find the current on each resistance

total current I=24/12=2 A

the current on 6 ohms resistance =>I1=2 A

the current on resistance 15 ohms =I2=15*2/15+10=1.2 A

the current on resistance 6 ohms and 4 ohms =>I3=I4=10*2/10+15=0.8 A

now we find the voltage on each resistance

voltage on resistance 6 ohms =>V1=6*24/6+6=12 v

the voltage on resistance 15 ohms=>v2=12 v

the voltage on the resistance 10 ohms =>v3=6*12/6+4=7.2 v

the voltage on resistance 4 ohms =>V4=4*12/6+4=4.8 v
