@swim6963 Do you know ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know the rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what? you actually wanna ask?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you see the attachment ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I 1= 1/4 A I 2 = 1/3 A I 3= 1/2 A I think so this should be the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please show work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I_1 =2/13 I_2= 7/13 I_3= 9/13 these are the answers

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

StarAngel: Do you know how to do the loop equations? If so, what do you get?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Applying KVL to the upper loop \[-E1-I1\times R1+I2 \times R2+E2=0\] Can you apply KVL for the bottom loop?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-E2-I2xR2-I3xR3-E3=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that right ?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

The last two would be positive, when we move against the direction of current across a resistor potential increases, and from -ve to +ve terminal of a battery, the potential increases

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-E2-I2xR2-I3xR3+E3=0

OpenStudy (ash2326):

-E2-I2xR2+I3xR3+E3=0

OpenStudy (ash2326):

I'll explain you how this works:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But along the direction its negative right?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

OpenStudy (ash2326):

You move along the direction in resistor R2 so -I2R2 but when we reach the lowermost branch, we move in opposite direction to the flow of current so =I3R3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In the lowermost branch we are moving along the flow of current isn't it?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

No we move against it, let me show you with a diagram. Wait for 2 minutes
