The document outlines a Circuit Analysis exam with two questions focused on applying Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) to determine branch currents and equivalent resistance in a circuit. Solutions provided include calculations for currents I1 and I2, as well as branch currents in an unbalanced bridge circuit. The final results include specific current values and the equivalent resistance between terminals A and C.

And

Then the branch currents are as follows:

Current in branch AB (i1) = 451.61 mA

Current in branch AD (i2) = 322.58 mA

Current in branch BD (i3) = 64.51 mA

Current in branch BC (i1-i3) = 387.1 mA

Current in branch DC (i2+i3) = 387.09 mA

Current in external circuit (i1+i2) = 774.19 mA

Again, the internal voltage drop of the cell being [r int(i1+i2)], its value comes
out to be i.e. 1.55V.

Equivalent resistance between points A and C being given by then ratio of


p.d. between points A and C to the current between these points, the
numerical value of the equivalent resistance becomes
