Solving Electrical Currents Equations

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving electrical current equations using Kirchhoff's Loop Rules. Two equations are presented: 9 - 2.7(I) - 0.038(I) = 0 and 13 - 0.023(I) + 2.7(I) - 9 = 0. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding how a dead battery impacts current flow through various resistors in a circuit. The conversation highlights the necessity of applying Kirchhoff's principles to analyze circuits effectively.

9 - 2.7(I) - .038(I) = 0
13 - .023(I) + 2.7(I) - 9 = 0

I don't know how the dead battery effects it and how to figure out the
different currents thru the different resistors

Kirchoff Loop rules. Remeber that when you jump start a car, you are "restarting" the battery as well.
