Attached is a diagram of the circuit. How do I find the current, I (total) when given info is: voltage between a and c is 3.4V , across R1 is 2.9V, across R2 is 0.5V , across R3 is 0.5V. Resistance given is: R1 is 0.56ohm, R2 is 2000ohm and R3 is 100ohm.
KVL and KCL
KVL stands for Kirchhoff voltage law. KVL states that the total voltage drops around the loop in any closed electric circuit is equal to the sum of total voltage drop in the same closed loop.
Sign Convention
Science and technology incorporate some ideas and techniques of their own to understand a system skilfully and easily. These techniques are called conventions. For example: Sign conventions of mirrors are used to understand the phenomenon of reflection and refraction in an easier way.
Attached is a diagram of the circuit. How do I find the current, I (total) when given info is: voltage between a and c is 3.4V , across R1 is 2.9V, across R2 is 0.5V , across R3 is 0.5V. Resistance given is: R1 is 0.56ohm, R2 is 2000ohm and R3 is 100ohm. Supposedly the answer for I total is 5.19mA.
But I don't know how to do it
