Homework Statement


Determine the currents I1, I2, and I3. R5 = 18[PLAIN]http://www.webassign.net/images/omegacap.gif. Assume the internal resistance of each battery is r = 1.0 [PLAIN]http://www.webassign.net/images/omegacap.gif.

Homework Equations


Kirchoff's Loop Rule: I1+I2+I3=0
Kirchoff's Series Law?: V1+V2+V3=0

The Attempt at a Solution


I've tried a million things, but with no luck. I know I'm supposed to substitute the different equations, but I just can't seem to come up with the right answer.
Circuit schematic with three loops: 8.0 Ω, 12 Ω and R5 resistors, 12.0 V batteries, a 10 Ω resistor, 15 Ω resistor, and internal resistances r, with currents I1, I2 and I3 labeled and battery B at bottom.
