Homework Statement
http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/9554/cktpz6.jpg
Find the values of [itex]I_C,I_B,I_L[/itex]
Homework Equations
[itex]\sum V=\sum IR[/itex]
[itex]\sum I=0[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
By Kirchoff's first law:
[tex]I_C-I_B-I_L=0[/tex]
by Kirchoff's 2nd law:
[tex]0.1I_C+1.2I_L=14[/tex]
[tex]0.011I_B+1.2I_L=12[/tex]
When I used these to solve for the unknowns I got
[itex]I_C=21.25A \ \ I_B=11.35A \ \ I_L=9.9A[/itex]
Now the solution says to use the first two equations and this one:
[itex]0.1I_C +0.011I_B=2[/itex]
and that gives a different answer to what I had calculated. Did I take the incorrect loops?
