Question
**In the circuit of Fig. 4_3, which of the following statements is true?** ![Circuit Diagram](#) **Circuit Description:** The diagram represents a circuit with the following components: - A 12V voltage source connected in series with a 6Ω resistor and the current \( i_1 \) flowing clockwise. - A 2Ω resistor in series with an 8V voltage source, joining back to a node. - The 18V voltage source on the right is in series with another 6Ω resistor with the current \( i_2 \) flowing in the opposite direction (counterclockwise to \( i_1 \)). **Objective:** Determine which statement about the currents \( i_1 \) and \( i_2 \) in the circuit is correct: - \( i_1 = 3 \) A - \( i_1 = -5 \) A - \( i_2 = 6 \) A - \( i_2 = -4 \) A **Analysis:** Use Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Circuit Laws to analyze the circuit and find out the true statement regarding the currents.
