Homework Statement
The question asks to find the current I going into the 2k resistor path using Y-delta or delta-Y transformations.
Homework Equations
Resistance in parallel
1 / R = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 ..
Converting Delta to Y,
R1 = RaRb / (Ra + Rb + Rc)
Current divider formula
Ix = (Rt / Rx) * Is
The Attempt at a Solution
I converted the delta network of 3 k Ohm resistors into a Y-network of 1k Ohms each using the above equation. (3*3) / (3 + 3 + 3) = 1. Then I got the total resistance of the network as 1.5 k Ohm. Then I used the current divider formula and found I as 2.14 mA.
The only problem is I'm not sure if I found the total resistance of the network correctly. It's confusing. Can someone tell me if I did it right?
