Homework Statement


I just need to check if my answers are correct

[PLAIN]http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/5139/physicsproblem.jpg

a) Find # of junction points
b) Find # of arms
c) Find currents in all arms by applying Kirchhoff's Rules

Homework Equations


Current in = Current out
Potential difference of all loops = 0

The Attempt at a Solution


I labeled the points starting from bottom of V2 A and going clockwise to the left B, etc. and label I is the middle point above V2

a) #junction points = 2 A,E
b) #arms = 3 ABCDE, AHGFE, AIE i marked direction of current in opposite direction for current ABCDE, and the positive(same) direction for the other 2 currents
c) I1 = 13/54 A
I2 = 23/108 A
I3 = 1/36 A
