Question

1. (10 points) A string of series resistors can be combined to form a multi-output voltage divider, called a

voltage ladder. An example of this is shown below. For this circuit, set your OV ground reference at

Node E.

a) For this circuit, calculate the voltage you expect to see at each node, as well as the expected

current I.

b) What is the power dissipated in each resistor?

c) What is the total power delivered by the voltage source?

Note: Remember that the voltage at a node is not the same as the voltage across an element; for example, the voltage at

node B is not the voltage across the 22k resistor, though one can be used to find the other.
