Consider the circuit shown in Figure P18.8.

(a) Calculate the equivalent resistance of the 10.0-? and 5.0042 resistors connected in parallel.

(b) Using the result of part (a), Calculate the combined resistance of the 10.041, 5.0042, and 4.0042 resistors.

(c) Calculate the equivalent resistance of the combined resistance found in part (b) and the parallel 3.0042 resistor.

(d) Combine the equivalent resistance found in part (c) with the 2.0042 resistor.

(e) Calculate the total cur-rent in the circuit.

(f) What is the voltage drop across the 2.0042 resistor?

(g) Subtracting the result of part (0 from the battery voltage, find the voltage across the 3.0042 resistor.

(h) Calculate the current in the 3.0042 resistor.
