Question
5. (TCO 4) Determine the currents through R1 and R2 for the circuit shown below.
The circuit schematic consists of two horizontal resistors connected together in parallel. One is labeled R1, 15 kOhm, and the other is labeled R2, 18 kOhm. A current of 9.64 mA is shown on the right flowing out of the parallel combination of R1 and R2.
