Use your results from Problem 50 to find the current through in Figure P19.48. Hint: First find the voltage across the parallel combination of resistors.

(reference problem 50)

Analyze the circuit in Figure P19.48. (a) Express the resistors in parallel as a single equivalent resistor. What is the value of this resistor? (b) Combine this equivalent resistor with to get the total equivalent resistance of the circuit. What is the value of this resistor? (c) The circuit is now “reduced” to a battery in series with a single equivalent resistance. Use your result from part (b) to find the current through the battery and resistor
