Diamond Circuit, Three EMF Sources -- Parallel?

AI Thread Summary
The circuit in question consists of three parallel branches, each featuring a different source of electromotive force (emf) and two resistors. Each branch is identified with its own components: ε1, R1, R2 for the first, ε2, R3, R4 for the second, and a similar setup for the third. The confirmation of this structure was provided promptly in response to the inquiry. The discussion highlights the clarity of circuit configurations involving multiple emf sources. Overall, the interaction emphasizes the importance of understanding parallel circuits in electrical engineering.

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!

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.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
