Exercise
Apply KVL to find
the values of ia
and ib
for the circuit shown in
Figure 8.3.
Figure 8.3
Circuit
Type your solution in the box below:
Solution:
Apply KVL for both loops and solve for
the currents ia
and ib
. We assume a clockwise
direction for each current.
Rewriting the equation
Solve for ia and ib using determinants:
Both currents are in the assumed
direction since they are positive.
