9702Kirchhoff’s laws
In the circuit shown, the batteries have negligible internal resistance. What are the values of the currents $I_1$, $I_2$ and $I_3$?
- A$I_1 = -5.5\,\text{A}$, $I_2 = 1.0\,\text{A}$, $I_3 = 6.5\,\text{A}$
- B$I_1 = 0.5\,\text{A}$, $I_2 = 4.0\,\text{A}$, $I_3 = 3.5\,\text{A}$
- C$I_1 = 3.5\,\text{A}$, $I_2 = 4.0\,\text{A}$, $I_3 = 0.5\,\text{A}$
- D$I_1 = 6.5\,\text{A}$, $I_2 = 1.0\,\text{A}$, $I_3 = -5.5\,\text{A}$
