[SOLVED] Kirchoff's Rule on Circuits
http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/7852/question1zu0.th.jpg
What is the potential difference V_{ab} of point a relative to point b?
I found out earlier that the current in the top branch is 0.8 A
In the middle is 0.2 A
and at the bottom is 0.6A
So V = IR - IR
3*(0.8) - 4*(0.2) = 1.6V
But this isn't working for me...what am I doing wrong?
