Uitleg
The network of resistors is a balanced wheatstone bridge. The equivalent circuit is
$${{\mathop{\rm R}\nolimits} _{eq}} = {{15 \times 30} \over {15 + 30}} = 10\Omega $$
$$ \Rightarrow I = {V \over R} = {5 \over {10}} = 0.5\,A$$
$${{\mathop{\rm R}\nolimits} _{eq}} = {{15 \times 30} \over {15 + 30}} = 10\Omega $$
$$ \Rightarrow I = {V \over R} = {5 \over {10}} = 0.5\,A$$
