Explanation / Answer

1)

For the upper loop :

E1 = i1*R1 + (i1 + i2)*R2

So, 9 = i1*(28) + (i1 + i2)*67 --------- (1)

For the lower loop :

E2 = i2*R3 + (i1+i2)*R2

So, 12 = i2*32 + (i1+i2)*67 -------- (2)

Solving both the equations simultaneously ,

i1 = 0.018 A

i2 = 0.109 A

So, I1 = 0.018 A , I2 = (i1 + i2) = 0.127 A , I3 = i2 = 0.109 A <-------answer

directions = I1 (towards right)

I2 = (towards left)

I3 = towards up

2)

For the left loop:

16 = i1*10 + (i2 + i1)*14 -------- (1)

For the right loop :

11 = i2*15 + (i2 - i3)*22 ------- (2)

For the middle loop:

21 = (i3 - i2)*22 + (i3 + i1)*14 ----- (3)

Solving the 3 equations simultaneously:

i1 = 9.7*10^-5 A

i2 = 9.8*10^-4 A

i3 = 1.14*10^-3 A

So, current through battery E1 : I1 = i1 = 9.7*10^-5 A

Potential difference between a and b = Vab = i1*R1 - i2*R2

= 9.7*10^-5*10*10^3 - 9.8*10^-4*15*10^3

= -13.7 V <-------answer
