Electricity current question , nodes

AI Thread Summary
To solve the circuit problem, start by applying the superposition method, analyzing one power source at a time before combining the results. This approach helps in determining the current through resistors Rl and Rs, as well as the potential difference between nodes Q and R. It may be beneficial to split the circuit into three separate circuits for clarity. After calculating the individual contributions, sum them to find the total current and voltage. This method will lead to a clearer understanding of the circuit's behavior.

We aren't supposed to just give you the answer.
You have multiple power sources, so start by using the superposition method which means looking at one source at a time and then adding them all up at the end.

Once you've started with that if you need any help, don't hesitate to ask for more.
 
Hi mate, i didnt want the answer, just some advice/tips on how i should go about doing this question
 
So do i have to split the circuit into 3 individual ones?
