Thank you both. Most of the other problems I had to do were relatively simple. Understood however. I will step back next time and rethink the problem.
So I would make two loops then? The one on the left going clockwise inside the box and the other going clockwise inside the right box?
Then the...
Homework Statement
What power is dissipated by the R2=3.0Ω resistor in the figure if R1=6.0Ω?
Battery 1: 12 V
Battery 2: 15 V
Resistor 1: 3.0 Ω
Resistor 2: 6.0 Ω
Homework Equations
P = V2/R
Rtotal = R1 + R2
The Attempt at a Solution
I started on the left side and used the formula, P = V2/R...
