Yeah. This is how I viewed the arrangement of the circuit. Since I was so focused on using Kirchhoff's Laws, I didn't think to look at the ratio between the resistors and the ratio between the current that would go through each. Your explanation makes sense. And yeah. Sorry I didn't include my...

I found the answer to be .01 A, I found I1 (total current leaving battery) to be .06 and then used substitution to get I6. Can you explain this very ordinary quick calculation? This was a Kirchhoff's Laws assignment so I utilized what methods were taught in order to solve it.

Yeah your suggestion makes sense. I think my teacher taught us to assign different current variables for each resistor to make it easier to visualize. Your method simplifies the process a lot and makes the math much easier.

Thanks! I just got the correct answer. I should've been able to see the other node equations.I was able to find the numerical value of I2 + I3 using Ohm's laws and the Req of the circuit and then use the KVL equations to gradually get all the values.

Yeah. You have it exactly. So am I right in saying i1 = i2 +3, i4 = i2 +i6, and i1 = i4 + i5?

Homework Statement Given a battery with voltage 35.7 V and 4 Resistors (Top left with resistance 2R, and the 3 others each with resistance R) where R = 507 Ohms, what current would an ideal ammeter read in its current position? (Diagram attached) Homework Equations Kirchoff's Laws: KCL and...
