Equivalient Resistance:

10 ohm + 10 Ohm + (1/10+1/10+1/10)^-1 = 23.33 ohms

Current at R1 and R5:

I = V/Req = 30Volts/23.33Ohms= 1.29 Amps

Energy Lost at R1 and R5:

V= I R= (1.29 Amps) x (10 ohms) = 12.86 Volts

Current at R2, R3, and R4:

I/3 = 1.29A/3 = 0.43 A

Energy lost at R2, R3, and R4:

V= I R = (0.43A)(10 Ohms) = 4.3 Volts

Power 1 and 5:

P = I^(2) R = (1.29 A)^(2) x (10 ohms) = 16.64 Watts

Power 2,3, and 4:

P = I^(2) R = (.43 A)^(2) x (10 Ohms) = 1.85 Watts
