ABSTRACT

Note that a third loop is possible, as shown in Figure 13.6, giving a third equation which can be used as a check:

E1 E2 D I1r1 I2r2 4 2 D 2I1 I2

2 D 2I1 I2 [Check: 2I1 I2 D 20.857 0.286 D 2]

Problem 3. Determine, using Kirchhoff’s laws, each branch current for the network shown in Figure 13.7.
