Step 30: Substitute the given value: I2 = 6.83 / 6 ohms

(Since the connection of R1 and R2 are parallel connected we can use the total
voltage for the circuit which is 6.83V according to the parallel law)

Step 31: Solve for the answer of I2: I2 = 1.14A

Now: R1= 5 ohms E1= 6.85V I1= 1.37A P1=

R2= 6 ohms E2= I2= 1.14A P2=
R3= 7 ohms E3= 15V I3= 2.5A P3= 37.5W
R4= 8 ohms E4= 20V I4= 2.5A P4= 50W
Rt= Et= It= 2.5A Pt=
R1,2= 2.73 ohms E1,2= 6.83V I1,2= 2.5A P1,2= 17.08W

Step 32: Solve for E2: E2 = (I2) (R2)

Step 33: Substitute the given value: E2 = (1.14A) (6 ohms)

Step 34: Solve for the answer of E2: E2 = 6.84V

Now: R1= 5 ohms E1= 6.85V I1= 1.37A P1=

R2= 6 ohms E2= 6.84V I2= 1.14A P2=

17
 R3= 7 ohms E3= 15V I3= 2.5A P3= 37.5W
R4= 8 ohms E4= 20V I4= 2.5A P4= 50W
Rt= Et= It= 2.5A Pt=
R1,2= 2.73 ohms E1,2= 6.83V I1,2= 2.5A P1,2= 17.08W

Step 35: Solve for the P1: P1 = (I1) (E1)

Step 36: Substitute the given value: P1 = (1.37A) (6.85V)

Step 37: Solve for the answer of P1: P1 = 9.38W

Now: R1= 5 ohms E1= 6.85V I1= 1.37A P1= 9.38W

R2= 6 ohms E2= 6.84V I2= 1.14A P2=
R3= 7 ohms E3= 15V I3= 2.5A P3= 37.5W
R4= 8 ohms E4= 20V I4= 2.5A P4= 50W
Rt= Et= It= 2.5A Pt=
R1,2= 2.73 ohms E1,2= 6.83V I1,2= 2.5A P1,2= 17.08W

Step 36: Solve for the P1: P2 = (I2) (E2)

Step 37: Substitute the given value: P1 = (1.14A) (6.84V)

Step 38: Solve for the answer of P1: P1 = 9.38W

Now: R1= 5 ohms E1= 6.85V I1= 1.37A P1= 9.38W

R2= 6 ohms E2= 6.84V I2= 1.14A P2= 7.80W
R3= 7 ohms E3= 15V I3= 2.5A P3= 37.5W
R4= 8 ohms E4= 20V I4= 2.5A P4= 50W
Rt= Et= It= 2.5A Pt=
R1,2= 2.73 ohms E1,2= 6.83V I1,2= 2.5A P1,2= 17.08W

Step 39: Solve for Rt: Rt = R1,2 + R3 + R4

Step 40: Substitute the given value: Rt = 2.73 ohms + 7 ohms + 8ohms

Step 41: Solve for the answer of Rt: Rt = 17.73 ohms

Now: R1= 5 ohms E1= 6.85V I1= 1.37A P1= 9.38W

R2= 6 ohms E2= 6.84V I2= 1.14A P2= 7.80W
R3= 7 ohms E3= 15V I3= 2.5A P3= 37.5W
R4= 8 ohms E4= 20V I4= 2.5A P4= 50W
Rt= 17.73 ohms Et= It= 2.5A Pt=
R1,2= 2.73 ohms E1,2= 6.83V I1,2= 2.5A P1,2= 17.08W

Step 42: Solve for Et: Et = E1,2 + E3 + E4

Step 43: Substitute the given value: Et = 6.83V + 15V + 20V

18
 Step 44: Solve for the answer of Et: Et = 41.83V

Now: R1= 5 ohms E1= 6.85V I1= 1.37A P1= 9.38W

R2= 6 ohms E2= 6.84V I2= 1.14A P2= 7.80W
R3= 7 ohms E3= 15V I3= 2.5A P3= 37.5W
R4= 8 ohms E4= 20v I4= 2.5A P4= 50W
Rt= 17.73 ohms Et= 41.83V It= 2.5A Pt=
R1,2= 2.73 ohms E1,2= 6.83V I1,2= 2.5A P1,2= 17.08W

Step 45: Solve for Pt: Pt = P1,2 + P3 + P4

Step 46: Substitute the given value: Pt = 17.08W + 37.5W + 50W

Step 47: Solve for the answer of Pt: Pt = 104.58W

Final Answer: R1= 5 ohms E1= 6.85V I1= 1.37A P1= 9.38W
R2= 6 ohms E2= 6.84V I2= 1.14A P2= 7.80W
R3= 7 ohms E3= 15V I3= 2.5A P3= 37.5W
R4= 8 ohms E4= 20v I4= 2.5A P4= 50W
