Transcribed Image Text:**Calculate the currents \( I_1 \), \( I_2 \), and \( I_3 \) in the following circuit.**
The circuit consists of the following components:
1. **Voltage Sources:**
- 18.0 V (top left, positive at the top)
- 12.0 V (middle, positive at the bottom)
- 36.0 V (bottom right, positive at the bottom)
2. **Resistors:**
- 5.00 Ω: connected in series with \( I_1 \) on the top right
- 8.00 Ω: connected vertically on the left
- 11.0 Ω: connected in series with \( I_2 \) on the left
- 7.00 Ω: connected horizontally in the middle right
- 5.00 Ω: connected in series with \( I_3 \) on the bottom left
3. **Currents:**
- \( I_1 \): flows from the left side of the 18.0 V source through the 5.00 Ω resistor to the right
- \( I_2 \): flows downward through the 11.0 Ω resistor
- \( I_3 \): flows to the right through the 5.00 Ω resistor at the bottom
**Circuit Configuration:**
- The currents \( I_1 \), \( I_2 \), and \( I_3 \) are to be determined in the sections of the circuit as described above. The circuit forms a loop with intersecting branches and involves multiple resistors and voltage sources that are configured in a mixed series-parallel arrangement.
