For the circuit shown find the current through and the potential difference across each resistor.
i was using the loop rules to make equations i could substitute into each other to solve this.. but i got stuck when i was making the last one for the currents...
thus far i have
I3= I4+I5
I1= I2+I3
and thus I1= I2+I4+I5
which then is 0=-I1+I2+I4+I5
but i need to find one with all of the currents but i can't figure out what to substitute into get an equations with I3 in it as well. Help please
loop 1 0= -I1R1 -I3R3 - I5R5 +24
loop 2 0= -I1R1 -I2R2 +24
loop 3 0= -I2R2 +I3R3 +I4R4 +24
loop 4 0= -I4R4 +I5R5
and then i need 0= the equation for the currents..
that way i can plug it into a simultaneous solver.. but I am stuck
