Question

For the resistor circuit shown, find the current in each resistor and the voltage across each resistor. 

The image presents an electrical circuit diagram used in educational settings to illustrate the concepts of current and resistance in parallel and series circuits. The circuit features the following components:

- A current source providing 100 mA.
- Five resistors are present in the circuit with the following resistances:
  - Resistor 1: 750 Ω
  - Resistor 2: 200 Ω
  - Resistor 3: 50 Ω
  - Resistor 4: 225 Ω
  - Resistor 5: 25 Ω

The resistors are arranged in a combination of series and parallel configurations. Resistors 1, 2, and 3 are connected in series on the left side of the circuit, whereas resistors 4 and 5 are connected in parallel on the right side, subsequently connected in series with the others.

This setup can be used to teach:
- Calculation of equivalent resistance in series and parallel circuits.
- Understanding the distribution of current in different branches of a circuit.
- Analyzing voltage drop across each resistor.

This diagram provides a foundational example for understanding complex electrical circuits and analyzing the behavior of different components when connected in a specific manner.
