**Problem Statement:**
In the circuit of the figure below, the current \( I_1 \) is 3.1 A, and the values of \( \mathcal{E} \) (the electromotive force) and \( R \) (the resistance) are unknown. What are the currents \( I_2 \) and \( I_3 \)? (Enter the magnitude only.)
---
**Inputs:**
\( I_2 = \) [Input field for current \( I_2 \)] A
\( I_3 = \) [Input field for current \( I_3 \)] A
---
**Circuit Diagram Description:**
The circuit consists of the following components and branches:
1. **Electromotive Force \( \mathcal{E} \)**:
- Positioned in the left branch of the circuit.
- Polarities: Negative on the left side and positive on the right side.
2. **Resistor \( R \)**:
- Connected in series with the electromotive force \( \mathcal{E} \).
- Current \( I_3 \) flows upward through this branch.
3. **Resistor (3.0 Ω) and \( I_2 \)**:
- Positioned between points a and b.
- A resistor with a resistance of 3.0 Ω is connected in parallel to another branch.
4. **Voltage Source (24 V) and \( I_1 \)**:
- Positioned in the right branch between points a and b.
- A 24 V voltage source is connected such that positive is at point a and negative is at point b.
- Current \( I_1 \) of 3.1 A flows downward through this branch.
5. **Resistor (6.0 Ω)**:
- Also connected in series in the right branch.
- Current \( I_1 \) passes through this 6.0 Ω resistor.
**Current Directions:**
- \( I_3 \) flows upward in the left branch.
- \( I_2 \) flows downward through the 3.0 Ω resistor.
- \( I_1 \) is given as 3.1 A flowing downward in the right branch.
