Hi There,

Im trying to revise for a test and I need help with the following question

I need to find I1 I2 and I3,

I only know the voltage and resistance of the 3 resistors

I have drawn the circuit and attached it,

so stuck! please help!

So, what are the equations you get from Kirchoff's current law and voltage law?
 
i1 - i2 - i3 = 0

and

Vab + Vbc + Vcd + Vda = 0

I think
