Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a problem involving electrical currents, specifically the determination of currents I1, I2, and I3. The subject area pertains to circuit analysis, likely involving Kirchhoff's laws.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the need to establish whether the currents are equal and suggest writing down voltage loop equations. There is also mention of language barriers affecting understanding.

Discussion Status

The discussion appears to be ongoing, with participants exploring different aspects of the problem. Some guidance has been offered regarding the use of voltage loop equations, but there is a recognition of insufficient information for a unique solution.

Contextual Notes

One participant notes a language barrier due to their recent move from Hong Kong, which may impact their comprehension of the material.

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.
