    Finding the Potential at a specific point in this Circuit

    Homework Statement Here is the circuit: http://gyazo.com/1e11d9208da0aa29d10b72128844ad40 What is the Electric Potential at Point A? Battery 1: 6.76 V Battery 2: 11.8 V Resistance 1: 100Ω Resistance 2: 217Ω Resistance 3: 312Ω Homework Equations Kirchhoff's Rules V=IR The...

    Circuit with multiple batteries finding the current through each one

    Oh okay, So 1.54(Current 3-Current 1)+3.6(Current 3-Current 1)=1.4 5.14(Current 3-Current 1)=1.4 5.14(Current 2)=1.4 Current 2= .27A! And I take this value and plug it in back, I get Current 1= -.593 A change the direction and I get Current 3= -.323 A change the direction...

    Circuit with multiple batteries finding the current through each one

    Oh my mistake. So 3.6[Current 3-Current 1]=1.4 Oh you're right, this does work somewhat nicely. So 3.6[Current 3- Current 1]=1.4 Current 3- Current 1= .389 So Current 2= .389 , I'm kind of suspicious of this value. Its differs from what I got previously. Did I mess up again in my arithmetic...

    Circuit with multiple batteries finding the current through each one

    Okay, 1.54[Current 3- Current 1]= 1.4 So [Current 3- Current 1]= 1.1 A So would Current 2 by that equal 1.1 A? Right? Would I then sub this back in for Current 3- Current 1 and solve for Current 1 in the first equation or is that wrong? Like so, -1.54[Current 1]+ 1.8[1.1 A]...

    Circuit with multiple batteries finding the current through each one

    Thank you. Sorry for the notation I'll write it out to make it easier to follow. When I use Kirchhoff's rules I get the following equations: Let c be left of a, d left of b, f right of b, and e right of a Oh, and Current 1 is current from Battery 1, Current 2 from Battery 2 in the middle...
