Answer:

(4) A = 3 A, A₂ = 11 A

(5) 7 A

Step-by-step explanation:

(4)

From the diagram,

A = 3+6+2

A = 11 A

V = A₂R

A₂ = V/R₂............ Equation 1

Given: V = 12 V, R₂ = 4 Ω

Substitute these values into equation 1

A₂ = 12/4

A₂ = 3 A

(5) Applying,

V = IR'

I = V/R'............ Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = cuurent, R' = total resistance.

But,

1/R' = (1/3)+(1/4)

1/R' = (3+4)/12

1/R' = 7/12

R' = 12/7 Ω

Given: V = 12 V

Substitute these values into equation 1

I = 12/(12/7)

I = 7 A

Therefore

A = 7 A
