Question
Determine the total resistance for the circuit 

Transcribed Image Text:**Determine the Total Resistance for the Circuit**
### Given:
- \( E_T = 120 \, \text{V} \)
- \( R_1 = 10 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 8 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_3 = 150 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_4 = 7 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_5 = 18 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_6 = 3 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_7 = 12 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_8 = 14 \, \Omega \)
### Diagram Explanation:
The diagram shows a circuit with various resistors connected to a voltage source of \( 120 \, \text{V} \).
- **\( R_1 \) (10 Ω)** and \( R_3 \) (150 Ω) are connected in series on the main branch of the circuit.
- Parallel to \( R_3 \), there is a complex network that includes:
- \( R_2 \) (8 Ω) and \( R_8 \) (14 Ω) in series.
- The series combination of \( R_2 \) and \( R_8 \) is in parallel with \( R_5 \) (18 Ω).
- \( R_4 \) (7 Ω) is in parallel with the network involving \( R_6 \) (3 Ω) and \( R_7 \) (12 Ω), both of which are in series.
### How the Diagram is Structured:
- The voltage source is depicted on the left with \( E_s = 120 \, \text{V} \).
- Resistors \( R_1 \) and \( R_3 \) are vertically aligned.
- The parallel and series combinations are clearly delineated alongside the main branch, emphasizing the complexity of the circuit.
