So this problem asks you to determine the magnitudes and irections of the currents in the resistors. I definitely understand how to determine directions, using Kirchhoff's Rules. But here is where I get stuck: the batteries have emfs of E1 = 9.0 V and E2 = 12.0 V and the resistors have vlaues of R1 = 25, R2 = 18 and R3 = 35.
So it looks like this (ignore the DOTS i was trying to separate the lines)
______R1______
|.....|
E1......|
|_____R2______|
|.....|
E2......R3
|_____________|
Sorry I don't know how else I would go about drawing that
I figured I could use I = E/(R +r) but I get answers that are quite different from the corrected version.
