Finding currents I1, I2, I3 with Kirchhoff's laws
I think next would be to use algebra and the three equations to solve for each, right? So, I1 = .155 I2 = .332 I3 = .177 and this is amps, correct? Since it's current?- James.Garland

Finding currents I1, I2, I3 with Kirchhoff's laws
So for the next step, I think it is to write equations for the relationship between the individual loops, right? So for the right loop, would it be 15 I1 +20 I2 = 9 Volts ? and for the left, 20 I2 + 30 I3 = 12 Volts ?- James.Garland

I don't really understand but are you saying to have V=20*I2 - 15*I1 - 30*I3 ?- James.Garland

Finding currents I1, I2, I3 with Kirchhoff's laws
Okay, so at the bottom junction it looks like I1 and I3 are going in and I2 is leaving, so is the junction rule I1+I3=I2 ?- James.Garland

So the positive end on the 12 V is the left and the 9 V is the right. We haven't really done these in class at all...- James.Garland

Homework Statement Find I1, I2, I3 http://i58.tinypic.com/hwg4y0.png (Problem included in image) Homework Equations Junction Rule, Kirchhoff, Ohms Law The Attempt at a Solution I don't understand Kirchhoff at all. All i got was I2=I1+I3 and I think that might be wrong.- James.Garland
