Question

Refer to the Diagram Below

A. Write the junction rule for the junction at the top of the circuit according to the directions of the currents you have chosen. Clearly show the directions of these currents in the diagram on the right side. Label these currents; I1, I2, I3 such that they would go throught R1, R2, R3 respectively.

B. Write the 2 loop rules according to the diagram and the directions of your currents.

C. Use Kirchhoff's rules to determine the currents; I1, I2, and I3 through the respective resistors. You must explicitly show the calculaions for credit.

Explanation / Answer

A)

according to KCL law algbraic sum of currents entering and leaving equal to zero

or sum of entering currents equal to sum of leaving currents

assume that current flowing in resistor R1 is I1

current flowing in resistor R2 is I2

  current flowing in resistor R3 is I3

AT THE JUNCTION POINT J

I1=I2+I3

B)

in this circuit it consists of two meshes

current flowing in mesh 1 is I1

current flowing in mesh 2 is  I3

assume  I1 is clockwise

assume  I3 is clockwise

KVL equations

IN LOOP1

E1=E2+I1R1+I2R2

7=11+100I1+200I2

100I1+200I2=-4

IN LOOP2

E2+E3=(I3-I1)R2+I3R3=-I2R2+(I1-I2)R3=-500I2+300I1

24=-500I2+300I1?

SOLVE ABOVE EQUATIONS

C)

I1=0.025A

I2=-0.0327A

  I3=0.0577A
