Homework Statement
Using the following values for the circuit in the figure, compute the current through R3.
|-----------R1--------|-------R3---------|
|........|.....|
+........|.....+
V1......R2......V2
-........|......-
|........|......|
|-----------------------------------------|
V1 = 1.500V V2 = 1.082
R1 = 2787 ohm R2 = 7219 ohm R3 = 10 ohm
(I hope my ghetto diagram makes sense. Ignore the ... I had to use them for spaces. The dashes represent the wires.)
Homework Equations
Kirchhoff's 2 equations I assume
The Attempt at a Solution
I have tried to use kirchhoff's equations to make a system of equations.
I tried using the "node" equation at the top in between all the resistors, with two "loop" equations. I also tried a system with three "loop" equations. I keep getting bad answers like 2(I3)(R3)=0
Any help/clues are greatly appreciated.
Thank you
