Answer the following;
a. In branch C, how are R5, R6 and R7 related to each other? How are their currents related? How are
their voltage drops related to the voltage across branch A and branch B?
b. In branch B, how are R3 and R4 related to each other? How are their voltage drops related to the
voltage across branch B?
c. What is the relationship between the sum of the currents of branches A,B, and C to the current
through R1? Why?
d. Make a statement that compares the amount of current through each branch (A,B, and C) with the
resistance on the branches (A, B, and C).
e. Branch B and branch C connected in series or parallel? How is the voltage across them related? f. Is
the voltage across R3 in branch B and R5 in branch C the same? Why or why not?
