QUESTION:
Determine the power received by each resistor in the circuit shown in Figure P 3.5-3.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
We redraw the given circuit as shown below in (a). We combine the two parallel current sources ( 2 A and 1.25 A) into a single one as shown below in (b). The value of the single current source is ,
\(2 A-125 A=0.75 A\) (arrow directed downward)
Applying KVL to loop (ABC D A) gives,
\(7 i_{7}-8+5 i_{5}+3=0\)
