//Problem 13.15: Determine the current flowing in the 2ohm resistance in the network shown in Figure 13.37(a). //initializing the variables: I = 15; // in amperes R1 = 6; // in ohms R2 = 4; // in ohms R3 = 8; // in ohms R4 = 2; // in ohms R5 = 7; // in ohms //calculation: //The 2ohm resistance branch is short-circuited as shown in Figure 13.37(b). //Figure 13.37(c) is equivalent to Figure 13.37(b). Isc = (R1/(R1 + R2))*I //the resistance ‘looking-in’ at a break made between A and B is given by r = ((R1 + R2)*(R3 + R5)/(R1 + R2 + R3 + R5)) //From the Norton equivalent network shown in Figure 13.37(e) the current in the 2ohm resistance is given by: I = (r/(r + R4))*Isc printf("\n\n Result \n\n") printf("\n the current in the 2ohm resistance is given by %.2f A",I)
