Nodal Analysis
In the analysis of any electric circuit, nodal analysis is the method of determining the potential difference or voltage between different nodes in an electric circuit. A node is a point where two or more branches connect each other. In the nodal analysi…

Chapter 2, Problem 2.10P

A network connected between terminals a and b consists of two parallel combinations that are in series. The first parallel combination is composed of a 16- Ω resistor and a 48- Ω resistor. The second parallel combination is composed of a 12- Ω resistor and a 24- Ω resistor. Draw the network and determine its equivalent resistance.
