Circuit problem (picture attached) need help please. Attempted problem many times.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I also have one more question. Thanks!

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

For the second one, use Thevenin/Norton equivalence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried that already

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

What values did you find for the Thévenin equivalent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got the first problem. I am now on the second

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

It is the one we are discussing, isn't it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (radar):

This depends on your definition of current flow, are we talking the direction of electron flow ie. negative to positive, are we discussing conventional current which flows from positive to negative? I assume we are discussing the direction of electron flow, if that is the case then current is flowing from e to a as a result of the larger EMF by the 2E battery. I calculated using R1 as 3 Ohm, and E1 as 6 Volts rather than the large values the problem assigned. with that there should be approx .4 amp going from e to a.

OpenStudy (radar):

With values assigned by the problem, I calculate 75 mA from e to a.
