Answer 1

Given the schematic diagram represents an electrical circuit, let's answer the following questions using the given schematic diagram.

I. Identify the type of circuit shown.

The circuit shown is a series - parallel DC circuit

II. Compare the current in the 8 ohm resistors to the current in the 4-ohm resistors.

To compare the currents, let's find the current in 8 ohms and the current in the 4 ohms resistor.

To find the current in the 8-ohms resistor, apply Krichoff's current law below:

$I_9=\frac{V}{R_9}=\frac{12}{9}=1.33\text{ A}$
