Hi,

Is the circuit in the attached image essentially one with three parallel branches, each with a different source of emf and two resistors? ie, ε1, R1, R2 on one branch, ε2, R3, R4 on another, and similarly for the last one?

Thanks!

Hello cklabyrinth. Welcome to PF !

Circuit schematic of a diamond-shaped network with nodes A on the right and B on the left, containing resistors R1 to R6 and three EMF sources labelled E1, E2 and E3.


The answer to your question: Yes.
 
Great, thanks for the welcome and the quick answer! I'm a longtime lurker but finally found a question to ask that wasn't already answered.
