Step 1
Let's call the junction A. The currents entering the junction are I1 and I2, and the current leaving the junction is I3. So, we have: I1 + I2 = I3 Now, let's write the loop equations for the loops abefa', bedeb', and afedeba'. We will use Kirchhoff's voltage Show more…

$*$ (a) Write two loop rule equations and one junction rule equation for the circuit in Figure $P 16.23$ . (b) Use these equations to determine the current in each branch of the circuit for the case in which $R_{1}=0 \Omega, R_{2}=18 \Omega, R_{3}=9 \Omega$ and $\varepsilon=60 \mathrm{V}$
In the circuit drawn below, R = 10 ohms and Eâ‚€ = 5 Volts. a) What are the three equations do you get from Kirchhoff's laws? b) What are the values for the three currents in the circuit? (remember to show all algebra) c) In what directions do the three currents flow (draw a picture or indicate it on a picture)? d) If the wire between R and R (on the left) was cut, what current flows through the remaining resistors? (remember to show all algebra)
