The potential difference between point A and point B is 41 Volts
1) Simplify the circuit to a *single* resistor using series and parallel rules. (Hint: work from right to left,
simplifying a few at a time. You'll need to iterate between series and parallel.)
2) Use the total resistance of the whole circuit and the potential difference (41 volts) to determine the total current
pulled into the circuit. (Hint: this should match the result from class through *two* of the resistors.)
3) Why doesn't your answer match for the other 7 resistors?
