Homework Statement


Solve this circuit:
a) Mark all currents
b) Write a system of equations allowing you to solve for the currents2. The attempt at a solution
Part a) in attachment.
Part b)
[tex] \epsilon_1 = i_1 r_1 + (i_1 + i_2 + i_3) R[/tex]
[tex]\epsilon_2 = i_2 r_2 + (i_1 + i_2 + i_3) R[/tex]
[tex]\epsilon_3 = i_3 r_3 + (i_1 + i_2 + i_3) R [/tex]

Is this solution valid?
