I get R_DB = 12/19 Ohm. Is that right?

Hi Rod,

I don’t know why your answer is in Ohms. We are looking for the current and voltage difference across the R_{DB} resistor. We already know that R_{DB} = 1 ~ Ohm

Even if you meant Amperage or Voltage, that isn’t what I got. It is possible I goofed up one of my calculations. I ended up with \frac{25}{29} ~ Amps. Are you using Kirchhoff’s Laws to solve it? I’m pretty sure it is the only sane way of solving it.

Also, the circuit you posted is what got me thinking about circuits. :D
