Homework Statement
"Find ##R_2## and ##R_3##, assuming negligible resistance ##r=0\frac{V}{A}##."
##R_1=6.1\frac{V}{A}##
##I_1=1.3A##
##I_3=4.8A##
##\epsilon = 24 V##
Homework Equations
Voltage in parallel circuits: ##V_1=V_2## or ##I_1R_1=I_2R_2##
Total voltage: ##\epsilon = I_1R_1+I_2R_2+I_3R_3##
The Attempt at a Solution
##I_3=I_1+I_2##
##I_2=I_3-I_1=3.5 A##
##R_2=\frac{I_1}{I_2}R_1=2.265\frac{V}{A}##
##R_3=\frac{1}{I_3}(\epsilon -I_1R_1+I_2R_2)=1.7\frac{V}{A}##
I'm new to circuits, so if anyone would like to care to tell me where I went wrong, that would be much appreciated. Thank you.
