Transcribed Image Text:**Ladder Network Calculation**
For the given ladder network, perform the following calculations:
a) **Total Resistance (\(R_T\))**
b) **Source Current (\(I_S = I_1\))**
c) **Using the Current Divider Rule, calculate \(I_2\) and \(I_3\)**
**Diagram Explanation**
The circuit diagram shows a ladder network with:
- An applied voltage (\(E\)) of 10 V.
- Resistor \(R_1\) and \(R_3\) are each 10 kΩ, connected in series.
- Resistor \(R_2\) and \(R_4\) are each 20 kΩ, connected in parallel individually with the series configuration.
- Currents labeled as \(I_1\), \(I_2\), and \(I_3\) are shown with directional arrows.
### Steps to Calculate
1. **Total Resistance (\(R_T\))**
- Combine \(R_1\) and \(R_3\) in series: \(R_{13} = R_1 + R_3\)
- Compute resultant resistance with the parallel resistors using \(R_{13}\) with \(R_2\) and \(R_4\).
2. **Source Current (\(I_S = I_1\))**
- Use Ohm's Law: \(I_S = \frac{E}{R_T}\).
3. **Current Divider for \(I_2\) and \(I_3\)**
- Use current divider rule appropriate for parallel branches to find \(I_2\) and \(I_3\).
These concepts highlight the analysis of series and parallel resistor networks, and the application of Ohm’s Law and current division principles to determine network behavior.
