First, R8 and R9 are in parallel combination, on solving that you’ll get 1 equivalent resistance for both R8 and R9. Let it be r 1 R p 1 = R 8 1 + R 9 1 ⟹ r 1 1 = 1 1 + 2 1 = 2 3 ⟹ r 1 = 3 2 Ω Now R4, r 1 , R5, R7, R6 are in series combination, now find equivalent resistance for those, and let it be r 2 R s = R 4 + r 1 + R 5 + R 6 + R 7 = 1 + 2 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⟹ r 2 = 3 1 7 Ω Now, r 2 and R2 are in parallel connection, Let their equivalent resistance be r 3 R p 1 = r 2 1 + R 2 1 = 1 7 3 + 2 1 ⟹ r 3 = 2 3 3 4 Ω Now, R1, R3 and r 3 are in series combination. So the total resistance would be. R s = R 1 + R 3 + r 3 = 2 + 2 + 2 3 3 4 = 2 3 1 2 6 Ω Therefore, Total resistance is 2 3 1 2 6 Ω Now, using Ohm’s law V = I R ⟹ I = R V ⟹ I = 2 3 1 2 6 1 0 = 1 . 8 2 5 4 A
