As per the voltage Divider rule:

V= (R1 + R2) (Total Voltage/(R1+R2+R3))

V= (3.3K + 1.5K) (28/(2.2K + 3.2K + 1.5K))

V=19.2 V

V=28v
R=R1+R2+R3=7kohm

I=V/R= 28/7= 4 ma.

Now, voltage between point B and D,

V=I(R2+R3) = 4(3.3+1.5) = 4*4.8 = 19.2v

So, V=19.2v

@Anil Kamani:

Sorry, you are wrong becouse current will flow from B-C-D path not from B-A-D. If u want to flow the the current from B to D through point A then substract the 8.8v from 28V due opposite direction of current.

So, u will get

V=-(8.8-28)v
V=+19.2 v

Hi,

I think the calculation shall take as below.

Addition of all resister = 7 kohms.

Voltage source = 28 volt. So current flow = 4 ma.

==> voltage drop accross r1 = 4*2.2 = 8.8 volt.

Am I correct. ?
