(a) What current flows through R1, R2, and R3?
(b) What is the absolute value of the potential difference across R1, R2, and R3?
| I1 = A |
| I2 = A |
| I3 = A |
Solution
Let the voltage of top point wrt bottom point be x then we have
x/R3+(x+e2)/R2+(x-e1)/R1 = 0
gives
x/70+(x+359)/24.4+(x-40)/89.9=0
on solving we get x = -214.9
so
I1=(x-40)/89.9=-2.84A
I2=(x+359)/24.4=5.91A
I3=x/70=-3.07A
|VR1|=x-40=254.9
|VR2|=x+359=144.1
|VR3|=x=214.9
