The above circuit is neither series nor a parallel circuit. So, to calculate the total resistance of this circuit we need to determine currents in all of the branches and calculate the total current. a) Use Kirchhoff's rules and calculate currents through all of the branches. Use a 100V battery to apply a potential difference across points a and $\mathbf{b}$ b) Calculate the energy dissipated by a $10\mathrm{kOhm}$ resistor.
