Prof. C.K. Tse: Revision^ Example (something that can bedone with series/parallel reduction)Consider this circuit, which is created deliberatelyso that you can solve it using series/parallelreduction technique.^ Find^ V.^2 Solution:Resistance seen by the voltage source is Hence,Current division gives:^
Then, usingV=I^ R, we get^2
