SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the currents I1, I2, and I3 in a circuit using Kirchhoff's laws. Participants emphasize the necessity of writing down the two voltage loop equations to analyze the circuit effectively. It is concluded that there is insufficient information to derive a unique solution for the currents, indicating that the problem may not require advanced physics knowledge.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL)
  • Basic circuit analysis techniques
  • Familiarity with voltage loop equations
  • Knowledge of electrical current concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Kirchhoff's laws in detail
  • Practice writing voltage loop equations for various circuits
  • Explore basic circuit analysis problems
  • Learn about current division in parallel circuits
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics or electrical engineering, educators teaching circuit analysis, and anyone seeking to improve their understanding of basic electrical concepts.

Homework Statement
Determine the currents I1, I2, and I3.
Relevant Equations
I2 + I3 = I1
I’m having trouble solving this one problem.
Sorry I’m really struggling with currents and I don’t know where to start.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
We don't know whether the currents are equal.
What did you learn about Mr Kirchooff?
 
you need to write down the two voltage loop equations...

Yea sorry I just looked back at my notes and a video in my language. Unfortunately, I moved from Hong Kong and taking a physics class in English. English isn't my strongest language
 
Thread closed. There is not enough information to get to a unique solution, and this is not advanced physics.
