Combination circuit 

What is the current? 
What voltage across each load ? 

**Task Description:** Determine the current and voltage across each load in the given circuit. **Circuit Diagram Details:** - The circuit contains a 35 V power supply. - There are four resistors in the circuit: - A 14 Ω resistor - A 10 Ω resistor - A 12 Ω resistor - An 18 Ω resistor - The 12 Ω and 18 Ω resistors are connected in parallel. **Explanation of the Circuit:** 1. **Series Resistors:** - The 14 Ω and 10 Ω resistors are in series with the power supply and each other. 2. **Parallel Resistors:** - The 12 Ω and 18 Ω resistors form a parallel connection. **Analyzing the Circuit:** 1. **Total Resistance:** - Calculate the equivalent resistance of the 12 Ω and 18 Ω parallel resistors using the formula: \[ \frac{1}{R_{\text{eq}}} = \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{18} \] - Convert the result to determine \( R_{\text{eq}} \). 2. **Combine with Series Resistors:** - Add this equivalent resistance in parallel to the series resistors (14 Ω and 10 Ω) to find the total resistance of the circuit. 3. **Current Calculation:** - Using Ohm's Law (\( V = IR \)), calculate the total current supplied by the 35 V power source. 4. **Voltage across Each Load:** - Calculate the voltage drop across each resistor using the calculated current and Ohm's Law. - Determine the current and voltage for the 12 Ω and 18 Ω resistors based on their parallel connection. **Answer Submission:** - Provide a detailed calculation of voltage and current for each resistor. - Explain the reasoning and method used.
