The total energy conversion might be about Part 2 of 10 CategorizeFirst we name the currents as shown in the diagram. Then we apply Kirchhoff's rules to current and voltageand solve the linear system of equations to find the resulting currents. For the energies delivered by eachbattery, we multiply voltage times current over time;; for the energies delivered to each resistor, we multiplythe square of the current times resistance over time. To find the total amount of energy transformed, we addup the energies either delivered by the batteries or delivered to the resistors.Part 3 of 10 AnalyzeFrom Kirchhoff's junction rule and by Kirchhoff's loop rule, Clockwise aroundthe lefthand loop containing I1 and I2, we have(27 J/s)(2.60 min)(60 s/min) = 4 212 J.I = 0,junctionΔV = 0.closed loop+I1(8.25 Ω) − I2(5.00 Ω) − I2(1.00 Ω) − 4.00 V = 0.2/23/2014 Master Ithttp://www.webassign.net/v4cgi/questions/tutorial_popup.tpl 2/4This becomesApplying Kirchhoff's loop rule clockwise around the righthand loop containing I2 and I3 and combiningresistors and voltage, givesTo solve three independent equations in three unknowns, we substitute for I3 and reduce the threeequations to two equations as follows.Solving the first equation for I2 givesRearranging the second of the pair of equations givesWe substitute for I2 to obtain one equation in one unknown. Then we solve for the current I1 down the 8.25Ωresistor.
