Consider the circuit shown below. Find V1 (in V), I2 (in A), and I3 (in A). (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign. For the currents, indicate the direction with the signs of your answers.)

The figure below shows five resistors and two batteries connected in a circuit. What are the currents I1, I2, and I3? (Consider the following values: R1 = 1.20 Ω, R2 = 2.18 Ω, R3 = 3.03 Ω, R4 = 4.12 Ω, R5 = 6.04 Ω. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

$*$ Use Kirchhoff's rules to prove in general that the currents $I_{2}$ and $I_{3}$ through resistors $R_{2}$ and $R_{3}$ shown in Figure $P 16.23$ satisfy the relation $I_{2} / I_{3}=R_{3} / R_{2}$ .
