Question
Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.
Find the currents flowing in the circuit in the figure below. (Assume the resistances are R1 = 20 , R2 = 6 , R3 = 8 , R4 = 10 , r1 = 0.25 ,r2 = 0.75 , r3 = 0.5 , and r4 = 0.25 .)
Explanation / Answer
R1 = 20 , R2 = 6 , R3 = 8 , R4 = 10 , r1 = 0.25 ,r2 = 0.75 , r3 = 0.5 , r4 = 0.25
apply kirchoffs voltage law for abefa loop
18 -I1*20 -I3*6 +3 -I3*0.75 -I1*10 -I1*0.25 =0 ..(1)
apply kirchoffs voltage law for bcdeb loop
-I2*8 +12 -I2*0.5 -I2*0.25 - 24 +0.75*I3 -3 +I3*6 = 0 ..(2)
apply kirchoffs junctionlaw
I1 = I2 +I3 ..(3)
from (1) , (2) and (3)
I1 = 0.42 A
I2 = - 0.78 A
I3 = 1.20 A
