Sample ProblemCalculate the current flowing, the totalresistance and the voltage drop across eachresistor with the total applied voltage Et = 200v and the value of each resistor is R 1 = 24ohms, R 2 = 66 ohms, and R 3 = 44 ohms.
Et=200v
R1=24 R2=66 R3=44

Solution:
Rt = R 1+R 2 +R 3= 24 ohms + 66 ohms + 44 ohms
= 134 ohms
It = Et / Rt
= 200 v / 134= 1.49 amp
ER 1 = It R 1= 1.49 amp x 24 ohms = 35.6 voltER 2 = It R 2= 1.49 amp x 66 ohms = 108.34 volt
ER 3
= It R 3= 1.49 amp x44 ohms = 65.56 volt

I1 = E / R1 = 200 v/40 ohms = 5 ampsI2 = E / R2 = 200 v/100 ohms= 2 amps
I3 = E / R3 = 200 v /200 ohms= 1 amps
It = I1 + I2 + I3
= 5 amps + 2 amps + 1 amp
= 8 amps
