Question

can someone show me the individual steps of how to do this problem

 

**Problem 1**

Find the values of \( v \) and \( i \) in Figure 1, using the concepts of series/parallel resistor combinations, and also the voltage (or current) divider rule.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The circuit in Figure 1 consists of:

- A current source of 8 A supplying current into the circuit.
- A voltage \( v \) across a path with a 5 Ω resistor in series.
- A 25 Ω resistor connected in parallel with a 20 Ω resistor combination path.
- A diamond-shaped network with:
  - Two 20 Ω resistors in parallel forming one branch.
  - Another two 20 Ω resistors in parallel forming another branch.
  - These branches are connected in parallel to each other, with a resulting connection to a 10 Ω resistor.
- Another 10 Ω resistor in series in the path of the current \( i \).

Figure 1 illustrates how these resistors are interconnected and highlights the challenge of calculating the voltage \( v \) and the current \( i \) using resistor combination rules and divider principles.
