Homework Statement
Three resistors, R1 = 32 Ω, R2 = 45 Ω, and R3 = 60 Ω, are connected in a multiloop circuit, as shown in the figure. Determine the amount of power dissipated in the three resistors.
Homework Equations
loop law
junction law
The Attempt at a Solution
(1) i1 +i2 +i3 = 0
(2) 9 - 45 i2 + 32 i1 = 0
(3) 15 +60 i3 + 9 - 45 i2 = 0
when you use the loop law, don't you have to go the same direction with every loop?
In the equation (3) it is going clockwise, and in equation (2) it is going counter-clockwise.
Is this wrong?
