Homework due on Monday (March 6) at the beginning of the lecture

Name: _________________________________________________________ ID number: ___________________

Instructions: please return (to the instructor) only this sheet, write your answers in the boxes. It is not necessary for you to write the
units in your answers, they are indicated in each one of the problems.

Use the current convention and the voltage convention shown in the circuit to find…

R2=3Ω I1 I2 R5=6Ω

I3
R1=1Ω R3=6Ω
R6=5Ω
ε2=20V
ε1=5V

R4=4Ω ε3=4V

1. (30 points) The three equations that describe the circuit according to the first and second Kirchhoff’s law (please, simplify the
equations).

2. (10 points) Underline. The electric current flowing through the R4 resistor is flowing towards...
(a) right. (b) left

3. (10 points) The current flowing through resistor R6 has the value (in amperes) of....

Notice: the circuit has no practical reason but to learn how to use Kirchhoff’s laws.
For the circuit shown in the Figure find…

R2=3Ω R5=6Ω

R1=1Ω R3=2Ω
R6=5Ω
ε2=20V
ε1=5V

R4=4Ω ε3=4V

4. (10 points) The current flowing through resistor R2 in A.

7. (10 points) The voltage across resistor R3 in volts.

5. (10 points) The current flowing through resistor R3 in A.

8. (10 points) The power dissipated by resistor R4 in watts.

6. (10 points) The voltage across resistor R2 in volts.

Notice: the circuit has no practical reason but to learn how to use Kirchhoff’s laws.
