4. Voltage Law and Current Law

Introduction
The exercises deal with voltage law and current law.
When using the voltage law, we put out an unknown current(s) and then go around in loop(s). If the voltages are
given, current does not need to be marked.
When using the current law, currents into a node are counted as positive and currents out of a node are counted as
negative.

The unit must always be specified in the answers. Also specify the units in partial calculations.

Exercise 1.
Find the voltage V by means of voltage law.

Exercise 2.
Find the voltages V1 and V2 by means of voltage law.

Exercise 3.
