Consider the following figure. Note: The currents are not necessarily in the direction shown. (Assume $R_1 = 14.0 \Omega$, $R_2 = 4.0 \Omega$, and $V = 18 \text{V}$.)
(a) Find the current in each resistor of the figure above by using the rules for resistors in series and parallel.
4.0 $\Omega$
14.0 $\Omega$
24 $\Omega$
(b) Write three independent equations for the three currents using Kirchoff's laws: one with the node rule; a second using the loop rule through the
battery, the 4.0-$\Omega$ resistor, and the 24.0-$\Omega$ resistor; and the third using the loop rule through the 14.0-$\Omega$ and 24.0-$\Omega$ resistors. Solve to check the
