This is your resistor network. Use it to calculate the total resistance.
\n
R3 and R4 are connected in series, so we add their values:
\nRseries = R\u2083 + R\u2084 = {{R3}}\u202fΩ + {{R4}}\u202fΩ = {{precround(R_series,2)}}\u202fΩ
\nR1 and R2 are connected in parallel. Use the parallel formula:
\n1 / Rparallel = 1 / {{R1}} + 1 / {{R2}}
\nRparallel = 1 ÷ (1 / {{R1}} + 1 / {{R2}}) = {{precround(R_parallel,4)}}\u202fΩ
\nThe total resistance is the series combination of Rparallel and Rseries:
\nRtotal = {{precround(R_parallel,2)}}\u202fΩ + {{precround(R_series,2)}}\u202fΩ = {{precround(R_total,4)}}\u202fΩ
\nApply Ohm’s Law:
\nI = V / Rtotal = {{V1}}\u202fV / {{precround(R_total,2)}}\u202fΩ = {{precround(Current,4)}}\u202fA
