(a) For the circuits shown in Fig. 1.P1, find the current through each of the resistors using Kirchhoff's
current and voltage laws to set up equations, then solve the equations (do not use parallel/series
resistor equivalents, circuit reduction, etc.).
(b) Using your results from (a), find the voltage across the 3k resistor for each circuit
