Find the current values flowing across R1, R3, and R5 resistors. Hint: Clearly mark the directions of the current flow in each. Then select the direction you travel in each of the loops. Write down one junction rule and two-loop rules. a R3 b 8 ohms R2 + V2 5 ohms 9 V V1 R1 c + 6 V 12 ohms R5 7 ohms e R4 d 4 ohms
