Replace network of resistors with their equivalents (if possible)2. If you can’t simplify to a single loop, then use the junction rule and the loop rule to set up a series of equations. Be sure to:1. Pick a direction of current (sign is a mathematical convention)1. If you traverse a resistor against the current then +iR else –iR2. If you traverse an EMF source from low potential to high potential then the EMF is positive, else negative.3. You have the following arbitrary choices1. Directions of currents2. Which loops to use3. Direction of traversal of each loop4. Starting point and ending point4. ABOVE ALL, REMEMBER:1. TRAVERSE THE LOOP COMPLETELY2. ONCE YOU HAVE CHOSEN A DIRECTION OF THE CURRENT YOU MUST STICK WITH THIS DIRECTION UNTIL YOU HAVE FINISHED THE
