AI Thread Summary
To calculate the voltages V1, V2, and V3 in the circuit with given values for Vw, Vx, Vy, and Vz, apply Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL), which states that the sum of voltages in a closed loop equals zero. Begin by marking the known voltage values on the circuit diagram to visualize the relationships. Understanding KVL will help in formulating the equations needed to solve for the unknown voltages. It's essential to analyze how the known voltages interact within the circuit. This approach will lead to the correct calculations for V1, V2, and V3.

Consider the circuit above. Calculate V1, V2, and V3 when Vw = -9.8 V, Vx = -4.1 V, Vy = 2.1 V, and Vz = 1.9 V.

Homework Equations


sum voltages = 0

The Attempt at a Solution


None.

Where should I start on this problem, I really am at a loss?

What circuit laws are you familiar with? Ever heard of KVL?

Start by penciling in the known values on your diagram...
 
sum voltages = 0

Find out what that means.
