Question
In the circuit of the figure below, the current I1 is 1.9 A and the values of and R are unknown. What are the currents I2 and I3? (Enter the magnitude only.)
![This image shows a simple electric circuit with two batteries and three resistors.
1. **Batteries:**
- The first battery has an electromotive force (EMF) labeled as \( \mathcal{E} \).
- The second battery has a voltage of 24V.
2. **Resistors:**
- The first resistor, \( R \), is connected in series with the first battery.
- The second resistor has a resistance of 3.0Ω and is connected in parallel between points a and b.
- The third resistor has a resistance of 6.0Ω and is also connected in parallel between points a and b.
3. **Currents:**
- \( I_3 \) is the current flowing through resistor \( R \) and the first battery, moving upwards.
- \( I_2 \) is the current flowing through the 3.0Ω resistor, moving downwards.
- \( I_1 \) is the current flowing through the 6.0Ω resistor, moving downwards.
This configuration represents a typical example used to study Kirchhoff's circuit laws, allowing for the analysis of current flow and voltage distribution in electric circuits.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe6e03986-921d-4e17-8e8f-434c654d8ef0%2Ff2f4e49a-ba06-4391-be1b-0debd0460ac7%2F8bek2j_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
