Given the schematic diagram represents an electrical circuit, let's answer the following questions using the given schematic diagram.
I. Identify the type of circuit shown.
The circuit shown is a series - parallel DC circuit
II. Compare the current in the 8 ohm resistors to the current in the 4-ohm resistors.
To compare the currents, let's find the current in 8 ohms and the current in the 4 ohms resistor.
To find the current in the 8-ohms resistor, apply Krichoff's current law below:
