Question
In the circuit of the figure below, the current \( I_1 = 2.50 \, \text{A} \) and the values of \( \varepsilon \) for the ideal battery and \( R \) are unknown.

**Circuit Diagram:**
- The circuit includes a battery with an unknown electromotive force \( \varepsilon \).
- There is a 24.0 V battery connected in series.
- Resistors \( R \), 3.00 \(\Omega\), and 6.00 \(\Omega\) are in the circuit.
- Currents \( I_2 \) and \( I_3 \) are flowing in the branches as shown.

**(a) What is the current \( I_2 \)?**

- Magnitude: \(-3\) (Incorrect)
  - Feedback: The response submitted has the wrong sign.
- Direction: From \( b \) toward \( a \) (Correct)

**(b) What is the current \( I_3 \)?**

- Magnitude: \(5.50\) (Incorrect)
  - Feedback: Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully.
- Direction: From \( b \) toward \( a \) (Correct)

**(c) Can you find the values of \( \varepsilon \) and \( R \)? If so, find their values. (If it is not possible to find these values enter "NONE.")**

- \( \varepsilon = \text{NONE} \) (Correct)
- \( R = \text{NONE} \) (Correct)

**Explanation:**

None of the equations had to use this information; therefore, we have two unknown variables which cannot be solved.
