ELC Tut 1-2

1. The current through the 8 ohm resistor is 0.237A. 2. A series of calculations are shown to determine the equivalent resistance of the circuit and the current through each component. 3. The final current is calculated to be 0.237A using the voltage drop across the 8 ohm resistor and its resistance.
