Homework Statement
V1 = 15 V
V2 = 4 V
I = 2 A
R1 = 3 Ohm
R2 = 4 Ohm
R3 = 8 Ohm
R = 2 Ohm
In this part of the question, I have to solve for the voltage across a and b
R isn't listed as a resistor in this circuit because that comes in a later part of the question (which I can do).
Homework Equations
KCL and KVL?
The Attempt at a Solution
My initial thought was to do KVL across the entire circuit. So that means what I did was I had
-V1 - V2 + (R1 + R2) * I
However, this proved to be wrong
Then I tried to do voltage splitting on the resistors. Which means
[R2 / (R1 + R2)] * (V1 + V2)
This is also wrong
How do I do this question?
