 Consider the following figure. Note: The currents are not necessarily in

the direction shown. (Assume R, = 39.0 0, R, = 3.5 0,

Consider the following figure. Note: The currents are not necessarily in the direction shown. (Assume R, = 39.0 0, R, = 3.5 0, and V = 48 V.) R1 24 0 -124 R2 (a) Find the current in each resistor of the figure above by using the rules for resistors in series and parallel. 3.5 0 2.61 A 39.0 0 1.00 A 24 0 1.62 (b) Write three independent equations for the three currents using Kirchoff's laws: one with the node rule; a second using the loop rule through the battery, the 3.5-0 resistor, and the 24.0-0 resistor; and the third using the loop rule through the 39.0- and 24.0-0 resistors.
