MBS3128 Mock Test 1

The document presents a resistive network diagram connected to an 80V DC source. It asks the reader to calculate: (1) the total resistance of the network, (2) various currents, (3) voltages, and (4) power values. To do this, it involves calculating equivalent resistances using parallel and series combinations, then applying Ohm's Law and power formulas. The response provides the calculations for each part over multiple steps in a clear and organized manner.
