Two sources (E1 = 24 V on the left, G = 46 V on the right, + at the bottom) and six resistors: R1 = 4 Ω, R2 = 4 Ω, R3 = 2 Ω on top, R4 = 3 Ω and R5 = 5 Ω as rungs, R6 = 2 Ω at the bottom. Three loops, two junctions: compute the current in R1.
Parametric exercise: the values change with every draw; these are one example.
Solved by loops or junctions: I₁ = 5.45 A, I₂ = 4.72 A, I₃ = 9.94 A, I₄ = 732 mA, I₅ = 5.22 A, I₆ = 4.72 A. At the junctions: I₁ = I₂ + I₄ and I₃ = I₂ + I₅.
