Question

The following equations describe an electric circuit.

I1(247 Ω) + 5.80 V − I2(381 Ω)

 = 

0

I2(381 Ω) + I3(150 Ω) − 3.10 V

 = 

0

I1 + I3 − I2

 = 

0

(a) Draw diagram of the circuit. Identify the physical meaning of each unknown on your drawing.

(b) Calculate the unknowns (in mA). With respect to the 5.8 V battery, consider current moving toward the positive pole as positive and current moving toward the negative pole as negative.

I1= ?????  mA

I2= ????? mA

I3= ????? mA
