A Newbie here.
I'm taking a DC Circuits class, and I can't figure out how to solve some homework circuits.
Here is one for which I have to solve for some missing values.
It's a Simple Parallel Circuit
Es (or Et) =?
R1 = ?
R2 = 82 K ohms
R3= ?
Between Es and R1, I have an "I" value of 1.37mA, with an arrow pointing down and flowing back toward Es
Alongside R1 is shown another "I" value of 583 micro Amps, with an arrow pointing down and flowing back toward Es.
Req (or Rt) = 25.55K ohms
I have solved for Es, and I believe it to be 35V.
The directional arrows are throwing me off, and I'm not good at algebra, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary
